Step inside a satire. Make an unfresh pot of
coffee. Consider all to be a kaleidoscope of things to come. Donate
your savings to the breakdown of humanity. Take a verb and run with
it. Slide down the ferris wheel. Contradict the
terms of living. Speak with the dead and revel in the life they lead.
stars turns to
clouds. Pour a cup of tea. Enjoy a crumpet or two. Or three. The
world turns as you stand still. Maybe you should turn with it.
Hamsters on a wheel. Become a fortune teller. Predict the past. Bite
off more than you can chew. Leave the scraps for others. Test gravity
on a balcony ledge. Smoke another cigarette. Make promises no one
remembers. Lose weight. Lose focus. Lose another set of keys. Don’t
sweat the small stuff. It is all small stuff. Maybe God is small too.
Find the smelliest bathroom stall. There is no toilet paper. It
figures. Mathematical delusions. Try not to look bewildered. Divert
the noise of silence. Listen how it echoes off the walls. Paint a
picture with the ugliest shade of yellow. Compare it to stick figures.
It figures. Pet a dog. Pet your ego. Look for new adjectives in the
dictionary. Break a few pencils. Read another book. Contradict the
terms. Take another pill. And another. And another. There is no hope
in madness. The constant spinning. The leap of antifaith. Go
outdoors. Take in a breath of fresh smog. Light a candle in the
forest. Watch it burn. Watch it falter. Watch as dreams turn into
nightmares. Try sleepwalking for a change of pace. Feel comforted by
the hum of a refrigerator. Wonder why there is a “d” in the word fridge
but not in the word refrigerator. Pour a glass of spoiled milk. Feed
it to the cat. Wonder why there’s no tomorrow. Wonder if tomorrow was
yesterday and you just missed it. Go ask the doctor. Again. And
again. And again. Take a Sunday drive on Thursday. Don’t mind the
honking cars. Crash into feeling. Compare it to numbness. Realize
there is no difference. Detach yourself from the unavoidable. Find
pleasure in chaos. Make a cage out of freedom. Change the locks.
Change the channel. Dilute the absence. Create conscience out of air.
Talk to a gravestone and see if anyone answers back. Turn 30. And
40. And 50. Break a mirror for good luck. Sift the lumps out of
flour. Grow mold in the frige, minus the “d”, mind you. Pour out the
old coffee. Go to bed. Begin again.
