Junk of the heart is junk of my mind
So hard to leave you all alone
We get so drunk that we can hardly see
What used to that, but you aren't me baby
See I notice nothing makes you shatter no no
You're a lover of the wild and a joker of the heart
But are you mine?
I wanna make you happy, I wanna make you feel alive
Let me make you happy
I wanna make you feel alive at night
I wanna make you happy
If you're a good girl tonight
Yeah

A junk of the heart by the Kooks is on the radio right now. his fresh notes dissolve into thin air.
i just ate and swallowed a pill for my headache.
Noodle has just cleaned the table and she lays on the couch ti check instagram.
in 4 hours we will be at the hospital.
i fucking miss him.
talking with him was like talking with a little boy. an orphan who takes notes about the world.
I turn the bracelet on my wrist to control my stress, being careful not to break it.
Noodle starts a conversation with a random sentence

-what are we bringin him today?
-dunno. I actually havent tought about it yet.

I tell her with the sadness on my face.

-2D it could be worse. think about it.

-How worse? It seems to me to talk with a stranger. an heremite.
-Shut up! Don't be riddicolous! he is just lost inside of him. we just have to help him finding himself.
somewhere inside of him his heavy dirty sould lives and complains on how the magic whip Sucks.
and I repeat.
it could be worse.

i look at her lifting my eyebrows.
she asks me
-did you even searched his illness on the internet?
-actually... no.
-For exemple they could find him naked on the street. or while he was committing obscene acts.
-r u serious?
-I read on the internet some pages about that and I found one of his most common exemples. a guy called Benjaman Kyle. Imagine.
the day before you are at the supermarket of your town, while you are buying eggs and flour cuz your qife wants to bake an apple cake and BOOM.
the day after you wake up on a street and you dont even know who you are.
I am quite confused and I ask her to be more precise.
she takes the laptop to search his wikipedia page. she reads

"Benjaman Kyle" was the placeholder name chosen by an American man who had dissociative amnesia after he was found without clothing or identification and with injuries next to a dumpster behind a fast food restaurant. As a result of his lack of personal memories, between 2004 and 2015, neither he nor the authorities were sure of his real identity or background, despite searches that used widespread television show-based publicity and various other methods.

seen?
-holy macaroni. continue.

On August 31, 2004 at 5:00 am, a Burger King employee in Georgia found him unconscious, sun-burnt, and naked behind a dumpster of the restaurant. He  had three depressions in his skull that appeared to have been caused by blunt force trauma and he also had red ant bites on his body. After discovering him, employees called the emergency services, and EMS took him to St. Joseph's/Candler Hospital in Savannah. He had no identity documents and was recorded in hospital records as "Burger King Doe". After the incident, no criminal investigation was opened by Richmond Hill police until a friend inquired with the department in 2007. There were no reports of stolen vehicles in the area and local restaurants and hotels did not encounter any individuals matching Kyle's description.Two weeks later he was transferred to Memorial Health University Medical Center, where records state he was semiconsciuous.

After waking up, when he was asked for his name by hospital staff, he remembered that it was Benjaman, spelled with two 'a's, but could not recall his last name. He came up with the surname "Kyle" from his police and hospital placeholder name. He had woken up with cataracts in both eyes, which were not fixed until nine months later when a charity raised enough money to pay for an operation. Upon seeing himself in the mirror for the first time, Kyle realized he was around 20 years older than he thought he was.
