Linoleum On The Mind

May 2022 after a long flight from Bangkok I was stricken by delusions from a severe attack of hepatic encephalopathy. Brilliant hallucinations and dull brain fogs. My brain was not in this world and Francis X drove me to the hospital. The doctor tried to explain that my mind had been poisoned by ammonia and I kept saying,"Why is linoleum in my head?" After finally understanding what had happened, the doctor in the OR asked if I wanted to sign a DNR. "DNR?" I somehow deciphered the acronym a Do Not Resuscitate. "No signature and no God and no Oxys." They put me out with propofol and I drifted into a white limbo. I came to clear-headed. Glad to be rid of the linoleum And the ammonia.
