I'm sorry about Dresden...I swear, but I want to know when it's our turn to look skyward and see angels raining down.
Don't act like you don't want it, I see you all every day killing yourselves. We can have turnicats wrapped tight and
needles dripping with smack, or we can have lines of cocaine running up dollars bills into nasal cavities. I saw a man
with a cigarette in his hand and a thirty pack of the worst beer in the other telling another one of Them he loved life, but he's not
fooling me, no, I looked into his eyes and I saw clusters of bombs dressed in American flags. You can be an American
family man with a gorgeous wife, two kids and a golden retreiver playing outside in your yard of suburbia, USA, and if you
are--STOP--press back on your browser and go back to writing and reviewing on your friend's post, stay safe, so they
can review yours and you can all pretend that you can write. Watch Julie Taymor's Titus on a Friday night and Pretend
You Still Have Some Culture.
But fuck that angst ridden bullshit that splatters among rubble like the brains of 35,000 innocent Germans, I'll play along
with the rules of this fucked up game. I tried it for the past two weeks, and kept at it as I watched a good friend lose his mind
and I missed a trip to Cancun to fulfil my 'civil obligation' known as jury duty. I played by Their rules, and already I have a job
offer inside my company that is one of the most sought after positions. It's a wine sales associate position inside one of the
hippest cities in Massachusetts (northhampton) and although the pay is terrible, fuck it, they pay for my school and I get a
discount on liquor, plus I'll be moving into a new house owned by a buddy of mine that most of you fucks will spend your entire
life saving for.
I should be happy, satisfied, but I'm not. Today I saw a business prick walk out of Starbucks talking on his cell phone and
pause right on the sidewalk. Behind him was a negro bum, asking for change in his pocket, and he didn't even get a nod of
acknowledgement, invisible to this dark-suited prick. He took one sip of his fat-free latte and then grimaced his face, and with
out missing a beat of his worthless conversation poured the whole latte onto the sidewalk and walked way. Maybe I was delirious,
but I swear when the latte poured from his cup it fell out as loose change, and clanked among the sidewalk and under the feet
of passerby as that bum lifted himself up from the ground and scrambled to grab a hold of whatever he could.
I guess it's just an illness, being perceptive that is.

I'm thinking:
Three stops from now
I'm gonna take my voice to the ocean
And drown it in the tide of
Versace breasts and Mercedes raincoats.
Spoke too soon. Homeless guy sings a homeless tune
Desert broke and smokeless too.
A trashy eulogy.
It's not the drunks he's afraid of
It's the cellphone children.

I appreciated your input on the Darko thread. I'm going to check out Eyes Wide Shut. You should check out the post again. People are contributing some decent stuff.
