The Syndrome Papers Bryan McLean

The Syndrome Papers ( poetry ) 2007-2011 are a satire and study of our human nature and actions. We, as a wakening culture, come to terms with decisions and emotions often in our off hours, late at night, in the gaps between sleep and wakefulness. Often dark creatures linger there, created by our late day fears or everyday worries that manifest into obstacles of social or psychological proportions. Alchemy is the core concept for this series of writings. It is a philosophy that, at its rudimentary level, is a study of change. And each of us, as an individual, experiences change in every fleeting moment we encounter. Alchemy is a tool for change, like our emotions are a tool for resolving our daily transitions from one state to another.
