FROM IDEA TO MEDIA
I wish I could take the pain out of myself and change it into another measurement unit, currency, or a bitcoin. The strength – quantity? Pain per hour? Some taximeter for pain so it can calculate the amount in Crampscoins? Like paid “menstrual leave”.
You are your own arbiter. Linesman. Like it is measurable. When pain is crossing the line? I transform the pain into digital currency, I would buy something. No, not the painkillers, how would I then generate new Crampscoins?
Maybe a livestock scale? Tons. Only there I can measure my pain. Another scale can’t do that. Beyond the highest point, it rises in height. Into the space.
Or maybe signals after all? Spasms or spikes per minute? Scale? 1-10. 10 spasms or spikes – 1 pain. Or more? How the rhythm of the pain is beating? Crescendo? Suddenly.
Sometimes it is a unique whole with a slight gradation to the border of insanity. Right the boundary is different according to different person in this case. That threshold of the abyss. Hopelessness.
Because, fuck, the pain is a subjective category. But also a value, that we can ascribe to it. So it would perfectly fit into digital currencies. In the menstrual wealth.
Suffer once a month – buy the whole – Crampscoins.
