No one sane and sober can ever be against
the experience of eustress. The high table
offers a spectrum. For an even-handed play,
alertness to a wide-ranging exposure helps.
Criss-crossing a complex terrain is taxing.
I wish it not on anyone I’m soft on, though
with as sympathetic a heart as mine, I could
not unchain from its coercion.
Emotions exit without explanations. There
are no memos, no roster of reasons.
