you’re letting me down, bro.
i almost got hit by a jaguar this morning.

pain and suffering, bro. pain and suffering!
shit.
i know!
shit.
i know
my fortune today said you will be rich and famous. fucker. pretty girl smiled at me. work was hard. lunch was fast. barely had any time even to take one fifteen minute break and i have this thing in my head that says that if i cant finish the work that somehow it was my fault. people have capacities too. dont we? you cant put a gallon and a half of milk into a gallon jug. and if you do you dont blame the jug.
sick thing is i love the fact that this job is so impossibly hard, so thankless, and so low paying.
i love it because the whole time my fro is as big as it can be, im wearing my corvids tshirt, im getting smiled at by the pretty girls, and my savings account just gets larger and larger, slowly, and the people who dont want me happy can only shrug while under their breath call me a fucking dumbass.
they watch me climb on the bus and i whisper who’s the dumbass now and i show the driver my monthly pass.
and old death is whistling at me from down a super long dark hallway with his come hither finger saying youre only getting older when are you going to grow up sellout and be mine and the oriental rugged floor sprinkled with opened condom wrappers athletic socks and newspapers says was someone speaking i swear i coulda heard someone say something ridiculously ignorant
lets change the world says the lamp
