if you love someone, set them on fire
[all the cool kids are doing it, then basking in regret--regret is the new self-pity, triple-distilled to an ART, SORRY I'D RATHER MAKE MONEY THAN SENSE]
knowledge is power but supposedly power comes with a side of responsibility & well no one wants to be responsible so we'd all rather be stupid instead. FALSE like the gaudiest set of gold teeth ever to cross a black cat's path. & well since anything that meows is legal maybe i'll start speaking in feline & bypass all my powdered-wig troubles hey it's worth a try, i mean situation cannot get any more fucked up, she says while seven different shades of FUCKED UP are waiting in the wings eager to descend with fury claws & harpy shrieks. eat my anti aircraft missiles you overstuffed greek myths, seriously, i'll pick my teeth with your revolution before you can bat a greasy lethargic eyelash. & then bat your eyelashes for you. with gloves on of course, can't leave any fingerprints, when they say have a heart they mean cardiac. arrest. zoom bang boom smash where's the cash motherfucker & SO ON
anything worth doing is worth doing in neon colors, SCIENCE or FICTION, give me a brain aneurysm & give me death--time tide & i all wait for no man. can't put a sentence together without getting in an argument. all my words melt in my mouth & my hands too i'm the self-cleaning mess that forgot how to clean itself up finally--thought i had the structure memorized then summarily executed the intelligent brain cell & i'm stuck with all these dumb incompetent neurotransmitters inside my skull who can't do a thing. except worry, seethe, throw tantrums. please don't throw me in the briar patch. the briars & i have a History. smash you like an atom ask questions later except question marks are bad for your health & i'm terribly, terribly concerned with my health. fall on my knees before the properly balanced breakfast & so on. early to bed & early to rise means you snooze you lose you bruise easily. baby-sealed with a club.
was writing this in a room where there is a man who is permanently situated in the corner choking on an apple. when he's done with the apple he buys more fruit to choke on. feeling of permanent installment in a david lynch movie from a few days ago still hasn't dissipated entirely, unshakeable conviction that i'm being subtly rerouted into someone else's life. no thanks i'll take mine even if i have fucked it up semi-irreparably at least i know it's my fault?
zombie style. hey by the time i blink i'll be rich & famous too bad i left my eyelids at home lost my keys & my mind & the last four hours while i was at it, do i win a prize, i know i have a golden ticket in here some place, honestly officer it was right here the last time i checked wait a minute maybe i left it in the glove compartment after all they say that's where life began, the big bang
