my brain is a man o'war, splayed out on a beach.
will the sun dry me out and finish me off? will someone brave and kind throw me back into the sea?

man o'war being my siphonophore of choice because i relate to my deadly friend.
man o'war are much like jellyfish, with a reach much further (165ft!) and a sting far more powerful (said to be fatal). in that it's very hard for people to get close to them without getting stung and suffering because of it. do you see the semblance yet?
man o'war can even sting weeks after washing ashore, relatable too i guess in how stubborn they are in surviving. my brain is the tentacles, reaching out, but defensive, armed even.
