I am so useless in here.
“When I write I'm the hero of my shit.”
Dinosauria, We
Born like this. Into this. As the chalk faces smile. As Mrs. Death laughs. As the elevators break. As political landscapes dissolve. As the supermarket bag boy holds a college degree. As the oily fish spit out their oily prey. As the sun is masked. We are. Born like this. Into this. Into these carefully mad wars. Into the sight of broken factory windows of emptiness. Into bars where people no longer speak to each other. Into fist fights that end as shootings and knifings. Born into this. Into hospitals which are so expensive that it's cheaper to die. Into lawyers who charge so much it's cheaper to plead guilty. Into a country where the jails are full and the madhouses closed. Into a place where the masses elevate fools into rich heroes. Born into this. Walking and living through this. Dying because of this. Muted because of this. Castrated. Debauched. Disinherited. Because of this. Fooled by this. Used by this. Pissed on by this. Made crazy and sick by this. Made violent. Made inhuman. By this. The heart is blackened. The fingers reach for the throat. The gun. The knife. The bomb. The fingers reach toward an unresponsive god. The fingers reach for the bottle. The pill. The powder. We are born into this sorrowful deadliness. We are born into a government 60 years in debt. That soon will be unable to even pay the interest on that debt. And the banks will burn. Money will be useless. There will be open and unpunished murder in the streets. It will be guns and roving mobs. Land will be useless. Food will become a diminishing return. Nuclear power will be taken over by the many. Explosions will continually shake the earth. Radiated robot men will stalk each other. The rich and the chosen will watch from space platforms. Dante's Inferno will be made to look like a children's playground. The sun will not be seen and it will always be night. Trees will die. All vegetation will die. Radiated men will eat the flesh of radiated men. The sea will be poisoned. The lakes and rivers will vanish. Rain will be the new gold. The rotting bodies of men and animals will stink in the dark wind. The last few survivors will be overtaken by new and hideous diseases. And the space platforms will be destroyed by attrition. The petering out of supplies. The natural effect of general decay. And there will be the most beautiful silence never heard. Born out of that. The sun still hidden there. Awaiting the next chapter.
Bukowski.
SOMS BEN IK EEN MEISJES VAN DUIZEND DIEPTES. EN SOMS BEN IK ZO OPPERVLAKKIG ALS NAGELAK. IK HOU ERVAN. SOMS TREK IK MIJN DUIKERSPAKJE AAN EN ZINK IK WEG. MAAR SOMS WIL IK ALLEEN MAAR GIECHELEN EN DOE IK NET ALSOF DE KRANT VAN VANDAAG NIET BESTAAT. DAT IS EEN KEUZE, EN DIE MAAK IK HELEMAAL ZELF. MAAR JIJ, JIJ MAG OP DE RESTJES KAUWEN, WANT ALS JIJ NIET VERDER WIL KIJKEN DAN JE NEUS LANG IS EN MIJN TIETEN GROOT ZIJN... HOUD HET OP.
IK VIND JE STOM. MAAR DAT HOEF JIJ NIET TE WETEN.
We pretend that it won't happen but you pause and it is gone.
Seems we are left with nothing when it's only separation.
Cut off tomorrow realize today, it means so much more,
and if we are strong we cannot let it slip through our hands.
There will be no apathy, we can't afford to lose what little we have.
There will be no apathy, I won't just let things run their course.
Why do we measure worth based on what's going to be?
Why do we measure worth based solely on what used to be?
Why does it seem as if it's not worth trying?
Why does it seem like there is no more worth?
For how much longer will we let time keep us apart?
For how much longer will we let this space get in our way?
Will I devalue what I know will soon be gone?
Can I only value what I know will soon be gone?
And every moment was worth it but I'm visibly shaken.
JEZELF MET VEEL MOEITE OVER HET PAARD GETILD HEBBEN, ZONDER HET GEGEVEN PAARD IN DE BEK TE KIJKEN EN ER AAN DE ANDERE KANT WEER AFDONDEREN ZONDER HET BIT IN DE MOND TE NEMEN. MAAR IK ZEG GEEN SORRY MEER, WANT DAT BEN JIJ OOK VERGETEN. NET ALS DAT JE MIJ VERGAT, MAAR DAT GEEFT NIET. IK HEB TEN SLOTTE STUKJES OP MIJN ELLEBOOG, WANT VALLEN IS NET ZO STOER ALS OPSTAAN. ZELFS ZONDER DAT ER 3 DAGEN TUSSEN ZITTEN EN JE NIET DE ZOON VAN GOD BENT. IK KAN OOK DINGEN... NET ALS JIJ.
TROTS.
