EMPTY HEAD
I plugged into the device to hear the music and be swept away to a destination unknown, an emerald paradise beyond mind, space, time, but it was just a distraction now.
I looked out into a busy city, intersections, holiday pies, turkey $.49 a pound, low mortgage rates ,people hustling to work in the cabriolet ,the smell of baby baby puke lingering in the minivan ,
people anticipating another day at the hell hole , getting space shoes shined before the big entrance on deck at Planet Corporate, sub urban half-smile of dread at the ready for the immediate supervisor,
H,i good morning, how are you, sold my soul to this fucking iceberg and I'd like to drown, thank you, those quarterlies are right onTrac ,be out Tuesday,heh heh, just hanging around to cash in on that 401,
the one you Yo's won't give me enough to live on when I need it ,what am I doing this for anyway ,if I'm miserable does that shirtless guy I just saw a truckin' down Fairfax, Budweiser in hand, at 7:30 in the morning have the right idea? I hate Budweiser, I hate football, I hate sticking the frozen shit in the micro cause I'm not too energized to slice ,cook ,serve ,wash up, no, not another night of Internet frivolity searching for something that isn't there ,Astro predictions included,so what now smart ass?
don't just do something, sit there yeah that'll learn ya.
I stopped looking at the clock on the phone jumping out of my skin for a way out ,the answer is there's no answer, onion roll breath stop bashing your brain out and breathe ,
there's the lad, feel better the answer will come, the answer will arrive, the answer is lurking ,there inside, somehow ,wait just you wait ,wait for it ,Hear me ?
