floating down the river of discord
two days off, first day back
smack in the middle of the week
a machine broken, a machine functioning
we get service
and because it's "him", there is chinese for lunch
i already knew, i just waited
chicken gets ordered as pork instead
and i pick an interesting fortune cookie
... keep true to the dreams of your youth ...
it was like a painfully vague magic 8 ball
i was asking my cookie a question with my mind
and instead of giving me an answer
it gave me a kind of set of directions
to find my answer
trouble is
youth is so ambiguous
youth as in yesterday, or
youth as in now? since I am still young
technically
the former, would be difficult to answer from
the latter, is difficult to settle on an answer
my status on myspace says
"searching for the right compass"
point me in the right direction
whether it be literal, figurative
abstract?
a word, a picture, a symbol
give me something
every time I think I have something figured out
I get thrown a curveball
and my plans and ideas get spun into the air
and totally rearrange themselves
and I am left confused and directionless
where am I headed?
where should I be headed?
why do things always change like they do
and fuck up my plans for the immediate future?
this isn't quite the kind of flow
I like to go with.
