pills that stick in your throat, dry protein coatings half dissolved in the partially evaporated saliva in your esophagus. no water in sight.
all because a man in a suit much more expensive than yours said so.
pecking order. class-bound.
xanax. anything with qs and xs and zs in it must do you good. apparently our bodies no longer have any understanding of the basic tenets of chemistry, and we need to reschool them.
atkins south beach zone HAHAHAHAHAHA. yes i'm getting all my nutrients.
guzzle oil to quench the fire, run a mile to your local chain gym where happiness is only 45 dollars an hour away. fitter, happier, more productive, to quote someone. all evidence is circumstantial.
cocaine fingerprints on the gun barrell, but they're not mine. it was the one armed man. here, let me get that for you.
the soft cold click of a zippo opening in winter, the momentary orange glow lighting up a face contorted in concentration. we all breathe fire, only the colour changes. handshakes and backstabbing; burn the witch. underbid, profit sharing. plastic ball and styrofoam chain. something corporate, but i can't remember what.
blue light cascading in through an open window. blots out the indiglo. relative intensity. the bizarre friction of cold leather moving across my skin, as a large rectangle in front of me tells me what is happening. i am lost within my own four walls without a lifeline sent out to london, riyadh, beijing, new york, rome, moscow.
tribal warfare claims a country. avian flu now spreading from pigs to heffalumps. the blues? i feel them but are they really real. cock ups, cock fights, crocks of shit. my life line is now a line being sold or fed to me. no spoon: they haven't the money to purchase feeding implements!
giggle chortle guffaw snigger chuckle laugh. you have a sort of sick desperation in your laugh. I know: the world has turned towards me and their collective stares are making me nervous. Imagine them in their underwear. I have no speech prepared: I don't even know what I'm supposed to tell them. They don't know what they're even asking and I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO TELL THEM.
make it stop make then leave me alone they never stop talking and i can't think i can't sleep oh god please my mind is too busy can't we hire someone to take care of it someone always does where are they now i can't deal with this of all the times to go missing give me some pills i need my meds just what the doctor ordered but who ordered the doctor?
do you look int he mirror? what do you see, other than a life going to waste? waste, he said, what do you mean. i have a job that pays well, a house in an attractive area of town, a wife everyone thinks is beautiful and two children who perform well in a school system that doesn't challenge them. i do everything society says i have to do to stay proper. i even do yoga incorrectly, insulting the culture from which it was spawned. he gets up to go but then stops in the doorway and hits it with his palm. lowers his head and walks out of the building. never to be seen again.
sobbing echoes off the walls of the panic chamber, metallic clanging coming from outside.
elitist. governor autocrat. digital eyes scanning in the satellites beaming me home every day. home to my feast of moon cheese and freedom fries. lie in bed thinking of how you've been let down, but doing nothing to get back up. sleeping pills, wine and poor sex. cheap life.
vindicated.

This was actually pretty close to awesome. Just a little overdone.
Fuck the -2 assholes. They think they're important in this little playground.

This isn't really meant to be anything in particular...it was just something that spewed out of my fingertips when I was typing in a journal the other day.

Somehow, reading this whilst playing some Modest Mouse kind of made it sound like some good 'ol post-modern folklore à la "Choose Life...".
Intriguing and disturbing at one point each, so that's a +2!
