Concocted for Mindlovemisery’s Menagerie Wordle #71
He saw the world in geometrical shapes.
Tuesday was a triangle. His dog a hexagon.
He was never sure why the ganglia in his brain
became delinquent, and streetwise.
He took up smoking cheap cigars and hanging with even cheaper women.
His lust was a charnel house; implosive and near nuclear.
His need for creepy sex extended into his geometrical shaped world.
During the autopsy, the coroner found extensive ragged brain tissue seeping into his destroyed geometrical perspective.
Thus, he had descended into an irregular bracket-less unshaped hell.

Fantastic! Brain trauma and disease can make a person behave in a bizarre fashion, although perhaps not as interesting a one as your character.
My late father suffered a stroke and afterwards became very emotionally volatile. I tried not to upset him.

My mother had a stroke shortly after my father unexpected death. While there was little physical damage, the psychological change was dramatic. I called her my other mother.
A friend lost oxygen to the brain, and collapsed. When he came to, he had lost the last 5 or so years of his life. Thought his wife was a extremely attentive nurse. He remembered me as we had been friends for many years. He had to relearn everything! Gradually, each function came back. The doctors explained it was as if he had sustained a head injury.
Eventually, dementia slipped into my mother’s life and thus mine.
I tried not to upset her.

I went to your blog, but my computer froze — I’ve had that happen before. Then, I couldn’t leave a message as there was an error listed when there wasn’t one.
If you have an email, I could send comment that way and you could cut & paste.

Guess I just saw it as very Creative–especially the title, “His dog a hexagon”, made me think of Oliver Saks (?) studies of aberrant brain issues–I hope I have the title of his book correct: “The Man Who Thought His Wife Was a Hat”.

Thanks for the correction–I have the book, read it with great interest; and packed it away when I thought I was going to move from CrazyLand a few months ago. I haven’t had heart to unpack much, just a few things on the wall–what a ridiculous/disappointing year it’s been…

It does seem so. But we are in the here and now. Unfortunately that means dealing/coping with a load of crap (excuse my language).
You mentioned a support group — that is important. To have folks with similar experiences to “talk” with.

“Crap” isn’t even close to a swear! If I mentioned a support group–which I don’t recall–I was speaking only of the handful of poets here. I don’t do “groups” otherwise. There must be a phobia term for that, eh?

Thanks again, so much, C.C.–I’m making note of both your email addresses….just in case. 20 yrs in Crazy Town, eh? Shoot, this is my 18th yr here–I can’t believe I’m still alive, frankly, and that I’ve come as far as I have. God is faithful–that’s all I can say; and perhaps I’ve grown a stubborn backbone–but as I was telling Phylor (and you no doubt know this as well), it all just gets wearying after awhile, wears you down. Anyway, I feel really good tonight, so–I’ll take it!
