Winnie‘s babbling as a comfort measure, a protective layer to stave off real feeling & suffering. Boredom to be avoided but also welcomed as an alternative to pain. Language as distracting noise: quotes, clichés, memories, banal catch phrases. Comforting, but without meaning. Change & stasis together. Beast vs. reason. Lack of awareness. Habits to protect self from knowledge. Optimism and anguish. Armpit stink jokes. Cheerfully pushing back pain.
