I want to wake up
with land to tend to
with animals to feed
with breakfast to cook
without a hurry
I want to go to sleep
with tired muscles
with a calm mind
with the windows open
without an alarm
Suck it in
Squeeze it in
Burning butthole
No bathroom in site
Hold it
Hold it
Hold it
Burning butthole
Squirming feet
Wrinkled face
Aching stomach
Breathe but not too deep
This too shall pass
This too shall pass
Burning butthole
Regretting nourishment
Time stands still
Chaos inside my ass
Distraction is futile
Burning butthole
I wish it was more comforting to know I’m not the only one drowning in the ignorance of others.
But it’s not.
I do not come from royalty
I do not come from money
.
I am a worker bee
forever making honey
.
No concept of how much
gets siphoned from the top
.
But there never is enough
So never do I stop
If you judge others for not being Christian, you’re missing the
whole
point
Feeling hopeless
This is my letter to all my fellow countrymen.
You have an influence that I have no control over. This is a fact that is especially loud when raising children. It’s not just about day to day encounters with others. It’s also about who, we as a people, elect as leaders.
I grew up in the 90s and early 2000s. I remember political campaign ads. I remember seeing the debates and speeches. I remember the yard signs and bumper stickers. None of these things were upsetting as a child.
Do you know what my kids have seen since the Trump era began? They’ve seen a president make fun of special needs individuals. They’ve seen a president become a felon and run for reelection. They’ve seen yard signs, flags, bumper stickers, and shirts that say, “Fuck your feelings,” and, “Fuck Biden.”
There’s even more disturbing things they haven’t seen. I can only prevent them from seeing, so much. Especially when it’s bumper stickers, window decals, yard signs, and flags.
I’d like you to think of our country through the eyes of a child this election. Please show my son that this country is full of people who care about others and their rights. Please show my daughter that it’s about having the right resume for the job, and not the right genitals. Please show the children of our country that we care about funding their schools. Please show the children of our country that we don’t want them to be hungry. Please show the children of our country that we care about the earth we are leaving for them.
Thank you for listening.

Becoming an adult has made it increasingly clear that not everyone has the ability to see things on a scale bigger than their hand.
Not everyone understands that karma is not a magical force that pushes assholes in front of cars.
There is a gigantic lack of reasoning and critical thinking skills in the adult population.
The scale is global. Karma is the impact we create for ourselves and others. Reasoning and critical thinking are skills necessary to create a harmonious society.
When greed creates society, a hierarchy of suffering is created. The top thrives while the bottom dies. Until eventually, the chaos comes full circle.
Rome wasn’t built in a day, and it wasn’t destroyed in one either.
Half of my brain is every character ever played by Chris Farley
The other half is a well organized, extremely clean and tidy, perfectionist.
Both are tired.
I foster a frustrating sympathy towards the devastating messes that he keeps,
everywhere, on every surface…
Because of how he, attained, the ability to live so deeply inside his head that he can ignore the space around him.
