my left eyelid is twitching

my left eyelid is twitching and i blame it on intellectual overload coupled with academic insecurity. this is the third time i've tried to write this sentence, failing each time to convey the exact nature of the strain i'm under.

i am:

facing the consumption of tens of thousands of words each weeks and the production of tens of thousands more, papers to be written, classes to be taught, articles to be read, a book proposal, the presentation, legal documentation, synopses, sample chapters, contracts, a chap book, the prose, and poem frag-ments scattered amidst peaces of mantra.
