waking in the morning still drunk,
problems with zippers,
dull visits from the better angel of your nature,
self-attempts at a heart tattoo,
occupation by an army of mercenaries,
a neighbor who keeps goats,
fear of drowning in the bathtub,
curiously fat fingers, and, in severe cases,
a soul like a broken shoelace.
