November 30/30 - 17/30 - Running

Built by the bearded. I have the heart of a butler. Let’s ravage the moon together. Let’s speak the language of fire alarms to the bird-gatherers. Let’s heat-vent the brick chimneys and fool them into thinking that rain is love. We’ll enjoy lizard-skin purses on the Riviera with no one the wiser. I have a suitcase full of Christmas stocking for your well-deserved vacation from punishment. Together, we’ll gather all the leashes in the world in one big pile and have a bonfire. Not so much a rebellion as an unhooking. A throwing of society back into the water.

People who live in glass elevators should not throw stones. Our dependence on video-game solutions will give us all helmets before too long. The old-school deep-sea diver uniforms with portholes to let us kiss. We’ll become mixtures of air conditioners, stereos and trigger fingers looking the wrong way through telescopes at our regretted past. Life’s only short if you’re having fun. Our garbage cans are overflowing and it’s the seeds of demons that we’re planting in the ocean. We’re writing a suicide note for whoever finds us in the future.

It doesn’t have to be this way. Together, we can change. Technology has the answer and is the problem all at the same time.
