Dr James has a bucket in which she finds a brain.
Dr James We are this three-pound lump of jelly. But it's not necessarily me is it? I want to be happy. I want to work hard. I want to not shout out swear words on the street. I want to sleep. It must know this. It must want that too. If it's me. But. Here I am, where my father held me on a climbing frame and I can see my shoes on the bar. Here, how much I like meringue. Here's my respiration control. Here's my impulse to kill myself. Here is my controlling that impulse. 'You're disgusting. And you're only going to get more disgusting. It's too late. This all gets worse and you can't even cope with now.' Shhh. Let's not. 'You're like your mother.' It's too hard. Other people manage(!) And still. 'You can't do anything. You can't work, well you could but you're lazy. This is the best you're capable of looking now and it's shit and you're decaying. Look at your teeth. And everything everyone says about you is right. And you're weak and you're a coward and you've ruined people's lives. And you should have done it a long time ago and you never will now.' Just put some clothes on and then we'll go from there. 'It would be better.' Just put on some pants. Then we'll deal with the next bit. Just do that. 'It would be better just to stop.' But people love you. 'No they don't. Even the people who love you hate you because you're hurting the person they love.' Why can't you stop? Where are you? Where are you?! She tears the brain to pieces with her hands.

Sweet the times (1996) Sweet the times that leave Sour the ones to come I loved this world, a boy and girl Still driving myself toward the ground Sometime I wonder why Sometime I just don't care If ever I touched the sky above I pray no one is waiting there The silence I keep, fearfully deep The love so gently shallow Still within, I know where I've been The wind says it doesn't matter When gold being made of stone Love of man be shown I'll return to burn in the river May all the water freeze |

En annan sort. Dénis Lindbohm, Bevingaren, 1980: 90 
Even a parasite like me should be permitted to feed at the banquet of knowledge

Note All parasitoids are parasites, but not all parasites are parasitoids Parasitoid "A parasite that always ultimately destroys its host" (Oxford English Dictionary) I live off you
And you live off me And the whole world Lives off everybody See we gotta be exploited By somebody, by somebody, by somebody X-Ray Spex <I live off you> Germ Free Adolescents 1978 From symbiosis
to parasitism is a short step. The word is now a virus.
