wat is our job?

wat do we do for fun?

wat are our chil­dren learning?


 

                    this short film stuck me – prob­a­bly the mu­sic, I’d say.
yeah. the mu­sic. hit the feels a bit.

pro­l­ly the con­tent too.

pro­l­ly cause im deal­ing with a cou­ple of peo­ple in my life right now who want me to be just as mis­er­able as them.

and they are very insistent.

and one drinks like a fish.

well, not true. drinks mor than a fish.

i must be mor normal.

but i am out of context.

i found my­self this week­end sleep­ing in the backyard –
as a protest that didn’t quite make sense –

not every­thing i do works

fight­ing a sprin­kler sys­tem that is there to just keep a lawn mor alive than its owner.

wow, you’ve done a great job with your lawn! —they say.
at the parties.

some­how,
over time,
the con­cept of ‘mod­ern’ end­ed up be­ing in­ter­pret­ed as every­one acks the same!

go on, ack!

i think it was dis­ney who want­ed that control.
an ep­cot cen­ter where we work and live in a pre­planned fuck­ing wag­on wheel city thing.

we must be uniform!

like an army. an army of one. —nev­er un­der­stood that term either.

the ‘way it is’ so we can all be alike!

uni­for­mi­ty is the cure all.
we must read all the same books,
be test­ed so we un­der­stand consistently,
dress alike, live alike and have that house that looks like the one next to it.

but if you’re lucky, the floor lay­out is a mir­rored version.

same lawn tho

you’re crazy for not be­ing like me!
—for decades i’ve heard this said in so many dif­fer­ent ways.

re­cent­ly i confusted
a colleague
by re­veal­ing a part of my life they nev­er expected.

be­cause i don’t do things like every­one else.
and i took a left tern with this par­tic­uaar idear.

and why not?

maybe me be­ing like me can get you to ques­tion who you are. —for a change

maybe just a lit­tle bit of abby nor­mal might be a goot thing.

in this lifetime.
