Was communifying with my eldest offspring the other
day, and she textified to me “when will ppl chill and just let me live” and
this struck me as pure gospel universal magnetic truth, with which I will
likely stick and poke upon my leg around my ankle next week when I am off all
week because work shuts down during the holidays whether we celebrate them or
not, but who the fuck is gonna turn down being paid to stay home, not this
dirtgod, so I’m gonna use my time wisely, sitting in my basement apartment,
tattooing poorly “when will ppl chill and just let me live” around my leg, and
it will likely look weird and oblong because it will be from my eye sight line
of vision, much like my stretched out yin yang on my chest I did over two
decades ago – a perfect circle to my eyeballs, but pulled tall in strange way
to somebody not inside my mind’s eye.
This world remains full of so much manufactured
and unnecessary drama, at global scale, at local scale, inside my own fucking
home and car at times, and all I can think is WHEN WILL PPL CHILL AND JUST LET
ME LIVE because this is always true. So I hope in this time of manufactured
drama and socially engineered consumerism frenzy, you remember to chill, even
if you are struggling beneath the weight of these burdens, and juggling
multiple jobs which do not cover the even more multiplicitous debt, that you
get those moments of chill, window down or door open or just walking, and the
power of lounge washes over you, inside first then outward, and you feel some
goddamn peace. This world is an asshole, and sometimes when overrun with asshole
behaviors we want to counter that with our own worst nature, but I remind you
that WHEN WILL PPL CHILL AND JUST LET US LIVE is a two-way street, and not even
a binary two-way street but a giant circular roundabout with a thousand lanes
and we can sit there and honk the fuck out of each other, smash fenders,
angrily demand that our direction is entitled unto us, or we could chill the
fuck out, make our way, and keep it loungin’.
