I don’t mean to brag, but I can make a joke and laugh faster than you can think to ask me “what’s the point?” The philosopher’s role, to think but not know, but the gravitas ain’t pretentious enough. Survival systems, defense mechanisms layers upon layers upon layers. The real sarcasm is pretending I know how much.
An unseen perspective, or just distraction? No wonder I’m so tired.
Every life matters so much we collapse from the constant rush. Did I just sell you compassion or a reason for nihilism? Wink nod and laugh. The confidence of intelligence is only relevant in honesty, and I’m a liar.
An unseen perspective or just distraction? Thank God I’m misunderstood.
If pride goeth before the fall, I will be godlike laying on the floor, and if fear is what is motivating, behold my strength and bravery as I don’t do a damn thing.Wouldn’t it be funny if this wasn’t just a big joke?
Do you see what I mean? If you do feel free to explain. The only victory I see these days is defeat. I suppose we all find our own peace. Lost in common context. Able to be misread. If I haven’t tried, how come I’m so tired? Who did I think would read this?
An unseen perspective or just distraction? Who fucking cares?
If pride goeth before the fall, I will be godlike laying on the floor, and if fear is what is motivating, behold my strength and bravery as I don’t do a damn thing.
What if I said I didn’t know the difference between cathartic and indifferent. If I said I was scared of being wrong, would you believe that I’m a liar. Cause I’m a liar.
If pride goeth before the fall, I will be godlike laying on the floor, and if fear is what is motivating, behold my strength and bravery as I don’t do a damn thing.

It slides off the tongue easier than a coat of Crisco, but as subtle as one of arms. Jacket aint your style. Teach em how to suck eggs. Devil em up. Best born in the bellies of the hungry. It’s a funny thing
because they’ve roamed alone all on their own before, and they were edified.
Empty eyes, hard as stone, watch as everything’s undone. You can see the tears when it rains. Entropy is a funny thing, fear it, fight it, it comes all the same. God I love it when it rains.
Let’s have a revival. Let’s take a piss. Fuck it. If it sells it’s a hell of a distraction, if not, blame the kids. Don’t turn on the light, it’ll cast a shadow. In darkness fungi breeds on every rock and every tree.

Strap yourself in. Where we’re going, we do not need proper linguistics or honesty to sell you what you think, or tell you what we think they think. Heroic pandering. Keep the gate. Dystopian fantasy from the pages of a McCarthy. Hope you enjoyed the read. Was it dry, or oppressive?

Use Your Allusion

Just once Id love to be proved right so I can believe there’s a wrong. Get those teeth shaken down to the nerve. I want the chatter to matter. Make em rattle. Bloody smiles. I wanna know how much your words are worth.
I saw it on a video, I saw it in a movie. I read it in a book that judged me wrong as it was speaking to me.
So here it is. The mystery laid bare. Indifference’s reflection looking back in wonder. A feeling inspiring an art, inspiring a meme. Is this significance or evolution?
Pictures or it didn’t happen
Interest on borrowed time?
Pictures or it didn’t happen
Timeline on the interest?
Pictures or it didn’t happen
Commodify the lie
Pictures or it didn’t happen
Quantify nothingness
A shot in the dark
Infinite beginnings
I’m afraid that I don’t know
I’m afraid I’m in control
And if I’m being frank, that prospect scares me to death.
Sleight of hand
My Volume knob.
Make it marketable, or don’t make it at all.
Right or wrong?
The potential
How could you turn this down?
Purpose won’t inspire crowds
Sleight of hand
My Volume knob.
Make it marketable, or don’t make it at all.
Right or wrong?
The potential
How could you turn this down?
In the end Everything must go but my volume knob.

Schrodinger, your intuition is a super position. I love the optimism, but you ain’t opened that box in over 85 years. That cat done died of starvation.
Introspection Grammar correction. I said it. I meant it as I understand it. You heard what you need and had the spell check fix it.
Exceeding expectations seems the fastest way to dig a hole. Hope you know how deep you’re going. 6’ seems excessive, but the funeral industry’s scam, so good for you. It’s all relative. Your $10,000 dead uncle on ice. It’s unfortunate that Jesus is more patient than the state, but time waits for no man.
Are your burdens filling up your goblet? Spill that wine. Take that pearl. No offense to the swine, my ears ain’t making no silk purse. You probably get that all the time, and I could see how that would make it worse.
By order of magnitude, we actualize this place.
Do these stings weave a fabric, or are they playing a song?
By order of magnitude, how much do we waste?
Am I expected to understand, or can I just sing along?
I must confess that there are times I get a sneaking suspicion that there is infinite wisdom in dogmatic nihilism, and that it’s probably for the best for everyone because you can’t prove a negative. Until you debunk that, we can still have hope. I refuse right now to ever make sense.
Is that allowed, or is it required of me?

The Memeing Of Life

Thoughts and prayers or THOTs and prayers? The act or those acting? My spelling and pronunciation sucks, but in times of need there’s no accounting for taste so I guess just go ahead, send what you got. It’s well received. I particularly enjoyed the
bit with “the laying of hands.” So with “Live Laugh Love” engraved in serif font upon our tombstones we finally find peace in rest.
And when them future archeologists come digging up my grave they’ll get
Live. Laugh. Love. Fuck off, I’m dead.
Live. Laugh. Love. Won’t say it again.
Hearts and minds that hardly mind, when outrage is all the rage, opine open opinions. Sterile eyes won’t sterilize most of the population, so we may need a better plan. Distort culturally the connectivity the value of a neighbor and offense. Illiteracy becomes all that you need when an excuse is as good as a defense.
Here lies fuck all, so shove this stone up your ass and don’t forget to
Live. Laugh. Love. Fuck off, I’m dead.
Live. Laugh. Love. Won’t say it again.
Live. Laugh. Love. Fuck you and your questions. Live. Laugh. Love. Got your discovery swinging right here.
My epitaph will be a photo of a tombstone that that reads “that feeling when there is no feeling” below the text “Live Laugh Love.” My epitaph will be a photo of a tombstone that that reads “that feeling when there’s no feeling’ below the text “Although he meant well, he probably went to Hell, because he understood the memeing of life and live laugh love.”
I know you know what I meme. Live Laugh Love. And as far as I’m concerned, you can all go Live Laugh Love yourselves.

The void’s cold stare cut deep in to the heart of my being, it leaned in and
whispered, “You’re not strong enough to withstand the storm.” In proud defiance I stared right back into the heart of the void, and with fists clenched I screamed as I charged, “LEROY JENKINS! YEET!”
In space no one can hear the screams and that why it’s a such noble dream. The astronauts all say the same but no one hears them anyway.
Build it they’ll just want more.
We are reboots reruns and reimaginations who think deja vu is a significant occasion. I only ramble on so I can organize some things but rest assure I’d stop if I thought that anyone was listening.
They won’t tell you what you missed or you might miss it.
They won’t tell you what you can get or you might get it.
They won’t tell you what you can do or you might do it.
They won’t tell you what’s for sale
Proved me wrong, this is too dignified for you. Prove me wrong, if you can afford to. Prove me wrong, regardless of the cost. Prove me wrong, or are you not motivated enough.
Get on the floor
A tussle on the marble floor in a $300 t-shirt that encapsulates your status, your profound distaste for it and general feelings about Mondays, over a perceived slight regarding you work ethic, drive and taste will be a text book example of elegance for ages to come.
