SONG OF THE DAY: Lonely Tramp (kudzu'd)


I have been lazy about wearing deodorant every day, and now I’ve got a natural funk too strong for deodorant it seems. Like even if I clean my dirty ass up, and put on deodorant like I’m about to go to court or a job interview, an hour or so later, the funk starts to seep through. It’s also hot as fuck, plus wildfire smoke blowing in, so I’m sure it’s all connected. Who the fuck cares though? We live in a dystopia. Am I expected to smell like cyborg lavender sprouts during a dystopia? That seems unreasonable. But even if I’m assimilated by the false civilization of society to be ashamed of it, when I walk a good couple miles along railroad tracks in the soaring climate done changed heat, and get all extra stanky, and am carrying a great metal bucket I found along the tracks from them doing work, and have it filled up with exactly 8 clasps and 13 spikes (the magic number of both), that stank I have when I get back to wherever I started, I personally find it a pleasant stank. And when you read enough about the science of pheromones, you realize that’s probably not an unnatural thing at all. And yet, ultimately I am assimilated into society, so I rub the cyborg lavender sprouts under my arms even longer and harder, and hope nobody notices my raw humanity.
