All-organic weirdness

Weekly state: sweet.

Like a bee to honey, I produce sweet things from bits I picked up somewhere during the day.

“One piece of cake, s’il vous plâit.”

Being pretentious, knowing it, feeling like it, and boldly expressing it, I order cake.

“What a great day for some sugar, don’t you think, sugar?”

I glance at my purple-dyed poodle. The poodle winks back.

“I shall compensate you for this cake if it meets my expectations of this extraordinary occasion, me having sugar.”

The poor lady that produced the cake bows and hands over the plate. Naturally, without looking into the magnificent and gleaming eyes of mine.

“I will retire into the corner. Bring the cake with some hot water to wash down the sugar. Preferably, put some fragrant leaves into the water and let it steep.”

The waiter forgot that he was staring at me so he quickly turns away to rush for the hot water.

“Well, well, well. Well.”

My fork digs into the cake and I pick up the whole piece. I inspect it and see that it is indeed glittering with sugar.

“Ah yes, the opium of the well-nourished.”

I part my hair and place the wedge of cake on top, facing the lady behind the counter and the waiter in front of me.

“I have seen it, the ridiculous nature of craving. More. Sugar.”

I realise that I haven’t touched my piece of cake. I am sitting on my cloud, I am the cafe, the lady and the waiter. I am the sugar and the water.

Maybe this rush is not for everyone.

Weekly state: punching.

Punch towards the body, going through. Hah, I don’t have a body!

I am getting massaged. Not just externally but all throughout. My mind is wandering off and I keep my eyes closed. The hormonal system kicks in and bliss is filling the warm air around me.

I am punching into the air. Involuntary contractions of my muscles that react to the waves of sound. I am surrounded by ecstatic people and flashing lights.

Distortion helps you see clearly. My focal point is vanishing, I am lost in the bed of light and bass.

I punch. I let go of whatever held me back.

I punch. I have become semipermeable, letting out, not letting in.

I punch, in peace.

Weekly state: meandering.

Yes, no, deductive reasoning.

Options put us at crossroads, giving freedom for the brave and anxiety to the scared. Which one are you?

I haven’t decided myself but the fridge of opportunities is filled when you are less than a thousand years old. For metaphysical entities, I am in my twenties. Time to try and be stupid.

When you are following this winding road, you sometimes come across ideas that seem stupid but in the end, they come out great. Just like cooking a new dish with that one weird ingredient, that completely blows your mind.

So while following this weird way, go have a look at the fridge. Maybe there is something weird you picked up some time ago that will change and revolutionise your dish.

And if you find someone meandering, go ahead, greet them. Maybe you will be their weird ingredient.

Weekly state: rebooting.

The interior rumbles, one moment, sweet release.

Sometimes it is just about losing something that makes the heart grow fonder. Luckily, as a metaphysical entity, I am easily pleased. So fondness grows in a puddle as much as it does dissolve in an ocean. So when I am sitting back in that puddle, undoubtedly, I will be content.

Sometimes I am losing that puddle, so I sit dry. Oh how I miss the days of having a cool bottom in all the heat of my food stall. So I sweat, I exercise, I fight the drops attacking my eyes.

I know how it is, working with spices. I am trying to dish something that tickles your brain. Most likely, you will dismiss it as something that will pass, something that is strange. Just like a new cuisine. Same as your tongue, your brain will get used to it.

So I am staying in the stall, hot, sweaty, spicy. Until you see the sweat on me. A water? Yes!

I pour it on my seat.

Thank you, I am in the puddle.

In balance, rebooted.

Weekly state: pickled.

Oh my brine, salt and vinegar, fermentation, everything makes stinky stuff shine.

All good things in life are fermented, therefore stinky. I like things that are slightly off. Off from the average, off from the predestined path, off from what is taught in society. I like my characters past the expiration date.

Splashed with external liquids, exposed to the environment. Bacteria, in human and cellular form, good and bad, it all adds to the flavour. I have come to provide a space for your mold to grow. Come here, I’ll put you in a jar, sit on my shelf, cozy from the heat of my burner.

Let’s preserve each other, let’s preserve all these aromas that we have collected over time. It’s all just a matter of taste.

Eggs, cucumbers, fish, humans. Let’s go for something strong, spread our fantastic and magnificent odour.

Loved by some, we will take our place. Slightly off, but pickled.
