Reached for: I-Pod (Not Enough)
“Whatever I take in, I'm still short by the same amount.”
It keeps a channel open at all hours — advice, news, praise, noise — because an unfilled minute returns a verdict it cannot sit through: that alone, it does not add up. Beneath the intake is an early sum done in a house where warmth was rationed or simply unavailable, and the total came out short. What it asks for is not more supply but a tolerable stretch of quiet in which the sum can be counted again.
Erysichthon, who cut down the sacred grove and was given a hunger that grew with every meal until he had sold everything he owned to feed it. The form implies a task of halting the intake long enough to learn that the emptiness was never a stomach.
