Greg would appreciate the Cronenberg reference. When I think of synesthesia, I think of Rimbaud's Illuminations.

Be well.

is derangement of the senses another

way of saying synesthesia?

I'd certainly say so, and so would Rimbaud

David Cronenberg would love to film EDUARDO'S NOSE.

His camera slowly moving in, not unlike a Lynchian close up,

to reveal missing body parts. "hear colors" "see music" - isn't a poet

blessed with synesthesia? Listening to musicians playing the

PiPa, Ruan, and YangQuin instruments, my mother-in-law

once remarked she rather didn't care for "sour music."

Is there a supplement on the market that increases

the level of synesthesia in a poet?

Yet another definition of prose poem:

driver signals left and turns right.
