It is no coincidence that most of the people described in this book are highly intelligent. Although hoarding is considered a mental disorder, it may stem from an extraordinary ability. For hoarders, every object is rich with detail. We disregard the color and hue of a magazine cover as we search for the article inside. But if we paid attention, we might notice the soothing effect of the colors, and the meaning of the object would expand in the process. In this way, the physical world of hoarders is different and much more expansive than that of the rest of us. Whether we look at them and see limitless potential, limitless information, limitless utility, or limitless waste, the people in this book are undeniably free of the usual rules that affect how we view and treat our stuff.
-- Stuff: Compulsive Hoarding and the Meaning of Things
1. I'm a Pilot, Fanfarlo
You can't trust that sign
You're sleeping in all the time
You'll see me on the screen
through all the other souls' dark walls [...]
The tape machine exposed
from all its spinning round and round
I've scratched all my reels
I've bitten all my nails to the bone [...]
If I stay in this room, they'll remember me for my youth
2. Not a Problem, S
Another forced-out smile,
another stupid story,
breakfast in the bathroom,
I can't do this one more day.
What's in my back pocket?
What happened to my face?
Some years I can't remember [...]
Can't see how you do it:
"It's not a problem?"
It's not fair.
I just wanted to tell you all the bad things that I've done today
and then again tomorrow, but I swallowed it away
3. Bjork explains television to us all.
You shouldn't let poets lie to you!
4. Eclipse, Winterpills
How our dreams entrap us
How our dreams entrap us
The puzzle never solved behind the scrim of our resolve
5. Take Away the Words, Winterpills
Take away the lights on everything, take away the lights,
take away the lights on all these things, take away the lights
6. "They told me they were looking for normal people, and I volunteered."
"Is all this pleasant or unpleasant? Or are those not the right words?"
"[...] It's too beautiful. [...] I wish I could talk in technicolor."
