The compressed residue: the Polynesia-and-snake phobia and its tics

texture · standing, B.S. through YDAU

• When: standing condition, from childhood (events 2-3) through the YDAU present
• What: Green's guilt, pain, fear and self-loathing over the nut-can and cigar traumas have, "over years of unprescribed medication," been compressed "to the igneous point" where he now knows only that he compulsively avoids any product or service with 'N in its name, "always checks a palm before a handshake, will go blocks out of his way to avoid any parade involving fezzes in little cars," and carries a silent horror of all things even remotely Polynesian. Polynesian/Hawaiian music in particular spreads his face into "a flat mask of psychic pain he doesn't even feel is there."
