My stomach hurts. I ate under that ceiling, I always thought it looked interesting, but it’s an awful lot of wood to do nothing I can rightly identify. Far more nourishing than the food was the conversation, and that feels especially true from this couch where my guts are feeling quite bad indeed. 

Do deer ever have upset stomachs, do you think? Perhaps if they’re quite hungry and are forced to eat things they’re not used to.

Once I was complaining about the liberal tendency to believe that we could be anything, or should at least, be able to be anything. If I want to eat only peanut butter I ought to be able to do that, if it brings me joy. If I figure myself rather seal like I by right should live by the sea. And to that my friend responded

Ah yes, human beings, famously the only animal without a nature. 

I don’t think my nature is to drink sweet cocktails and eat heavy food. Or maybe I’m just getting older.
