The ******* roots of this thing are unbelievable. They grow right into the crux of my inner most cognition. Where the gears and bolts and pipes and all the unseen mechanics of my little mind reside. They grow inside and through and around. They clog gears, burst pipes, loosen bolts. I have weeds in my mind, the kind that suffocate their host. A fiery invasive species, the ones that respect only fire and pesticides.
