Damn I just pasted my sushi receipt into my altered book project earlier today. I have a pic but can't get uploaded to pc. i will have to show you later.
Maybe I can answer a little to your question about impotence. I met a guy some years ago, not very old, about 36. He was very sick, taking a lot of pills, and was complaining about his problem with erections. And I asked him that if he didn't had any desire anymore, what was the problem? But he said that even with no libido, no desire, he was still desiring to have a normal sexuality.
Medically speaking, impotence is the inability to achieve and sustain an erection. As Clo says, the desire may still be there; ask any guy who's had too much to drink and been unable to perform.
Christopher describes something like what psychologists call "anhedonia". It's often a symptom of depression. Some who suffer from it do indeed "desire the desire". Others do not.
The first bit of writing is straightforward. the second bit of writing is simply my musing on the first bit of writing. They are indeed connected and part of the same thought. i was quite obviously not speaking of impotence in the literal, physical sense.
The words are short-hand. To fully fill them out would take many hours and many pages. Those who know me well and who have watched me, will have an idea about the themes involved.
Gary: unintentional juxtaposition, i assure you! hahaha.
jozee, i must tell you: my mums, who surely is lurking about, wishes she could hang out with you. We both would like to scavenge through your delightfully strange books..
thank you so much for the anecdote, Clo. It surprises me to hear about such a case and it might bear upon my train of thought..
gary again: that's extremely interesting to me. not particularly in regard to sexuality, but that is a useful way of discussing the nature of desire.
Susan: you provoked the expression [albeit crude and in short-hand] of the thoughts with your email.

hmmmm...
i promise that i do not write all my emails on sushi receipts..
haha.
I think it's funny that you talk about impotence on a receipt for a "Dynamite Roll". Reminds me of some of the spam I get.

I like how you share some of your thoughts...

thought provoking upon the first read, more so seeing this...

Chris, I would be pleased to hang out with you and your mom. glad I don't frighten her! If she likes ephemera she'd feel quite at home here!
