In the Year 2005: Hands Like a Laser Print Jet Engine {Mother Tongue to American-English Translation}

Inspired by “Book of the Month” by Nathaniel Merriweather, Mike Patton, Jennifer Charles, Kid Koala, Dan the Automator

Something was obtuse about the day I went to the Scholastic Book Fair with $40 in tow, and after I viewed the new copies of book covers on The Sorcerer’s Stone – I felt disappointed. I decided to skip the books and accessories at my very first Schoolastic Book Fair that wasn’t hosted by the Make-a-Wish foundation or at Cedars-Sinai St. Jude and thought “If I’ve been to something like this under different circumstances that were entirely free, and helped propel them to public schools for monetization; perhaps I should use these monies and invest in something else to make some money for the kids like me and their parents/guardianshiphoods could maybe make something off of this if I give them the Indie Distribution Rights. I came home from Japan off my Junji Ito recollection. Post-Haste, my Uzumaki work I think was released 2? Maybe 3 years ago? And I decided to take up graphic design once again and I made a beat again “underground garbage” on a private company release 18 years ago that fuels shadow-subsets of music production aka Spotify. “Where:s Waldo” days of Camen San Diego rip offs were long over. And I talk with my friend “Where are they now? What are they up to?” On WordPress these days. I had shit out plenty of WordPress and Wix websites some time again when I failed at a standardized education presumptuously dropped out my 8th Grade year and never completed past the 9th grade – the hard way, that defeated me as a world traveler redeemed with Ph.d by 4, 14, and 3 years old. Even now my friends are fucking with my typing from my twiddling thumbs and stopping my cadence to challenge my “stream-of-consciousness” rigorous Ginsberg and even more rigorous Jackson editing composition. Forget about Poe, if you function at X-Games load in tow for effort fruition.

…

In the end, I wrote this song and shadow re-corded through Space Ball and Pong Pong and fumbling ping-pong balls and bought a JVC cassette deck recorder for $3.93 at the Flea Market and shadow-produced and voice-acted the whole song. Tenor or Soprano, any scale; and I chose “Book of the Month” as I climb out of my shadows and whatever the fuck is considered stardom by 2. That was never my life and you were wrong to treat me differently. I didn’t comprehend what was going when I blacked out on memory when my life was ripped away from me by formal education, standardized testing, and profiling me for Chopped Tongue.

Fuck it, it’s a new day. America is the Greatest Challenge for World Travelers. I’m thinking nowadays it’s all “based on trust and communication”. Prejudice or not. I’m going to wash out your bigotry with Listerine and rinse you like a sheet of paper.
