  • Varietal Nuance comes in Sequences.

    July 25th, 2024

    I suppose in so many ways,
    I talked about how we wear the same thing
    And we wear it all different.

    To our own accords.
    You two, choose to Live-Rich for 10 years and get mad and sad and circumfronted when all the half to over a million dollar things
    Get shit-out bc the people
    You cared enough to buy it for
    Or do for,
    Either can’t live there
    So you gave it away in a bustle
    And now you’re sad
    Because something that was symbolism for you-accomplishments.
    Someone’s Southern Rome and Swiss Coast
    Say Arreviderci like the English-do.
    Bc they didn’t take care of it and now it’s a monument
    To the attestment of your trust-issues.

    I think everyone has felt this in the most dismal courts.
    Probably at like a kindergarten lunch table.
    Like where I learned – I still really love being an entrepreneur
    And I’m sad the barter system seem infinite ages ago
    And a finite system.
    Then I think of that old christmas cartoon lineup- banger
    Fuck yo silver+gold firebeard-man:
    The Romans came off harsh,
    But cynicism is often amongst marionettes
    On some stage.

    And I remember teaching kids how to make those with popsicle sticks.
    A fresh pack, a blessing.
    When my generation of a dismal like sorta 20 years ago bc we’re in our 20s
    Still had to suck down the clearance popsicles to get the fruit-juice dye off the sticks.
    Then I just used scented markers to enhance the berry-tint.

    Call it Eveil, to be this ingenious.
    Then tell me you’ve never seen someone at a fair ride a motorcycle in steel-global-cage,
    And think it was bad-ass.
    Though, totally unnecessary. By really any logical standard.

    I was always a numbers gal.
    Autism and being a female and coming from Bankers kinda led to it naturally.
    I – felt so finite in words.
    Any extortion to tell myself I don’t feel so defeated inside.
    Expected more out of you.
    Middle-fingers-breather-pose in sign-language for cochlear-patients – somehow just works when you’re a pissed off kid.
    Somehow cracking knuckles, instead seems
    Like i’m bout to start serving sandwiches.
    Nitrogen build-up.
    They blame it on cows.
    I blame the broccoli and spinach.

    What else to do,
    But hope my snotty, gaseous filled eyes relax a bit
    And my finders don’t twiddle
    And my ring keeps shrinking – one of the worst I’ve seen.
    And 78 Macrograms collected would make
    Any dermatologists scream.

    I joked of Mt.Vesuvius being on my chin.
    Then I got diagnosed with PCOS during the brink of puberty that had already been around for awhile and I still didn’t have the confidence to say I needed razors and bras.
    And I was bruh girl with no shame.
    And unibrow-holder and stenciler and Frida-obsessed
    Painting Georgia O’Keefe references in all my art.
    Just to say they’re eyes.

    And I never finished my own pussycat-pink hat;
    Yet I made a many other loopy ones for others.
    And it’s tuesday. [in my mind at least.]
    Since I just checked and it’s actually Thursday and I’m
    Thinking about what I wrote Tuesday.

    Miles away in thought and I could pass 30 pieces and still be hung up on 13 days ago.
    Just to see if I got anywhere in my own character –

    I gotta keep seeing if I got anything to write.

    I skipped the pork belly and crispy onion chips I dreamed of in excesse even just for chicken wings and hand-cut sweet potato fries only in oil + salt.
    Ice Cubes eventually.
    Threw some of those in the dryer too to beat the softner stains out.
    Liquid-elixir and it took a couple months on new washer-and-dryer
    For my leggings not to look detrimental
    To my shame + modesty
    And perpetual grace
    To not feel like I’ve paved my way back to fuck-up.

    Fuck-it-Up is the alternative,
    Then I got bored and wonder how I’m gonna do it again.

    And realize I live modestly,
    And the fancy bejeweled en-croute lifestyle isn’t for me.

    The first Microwaves were for instantaneous cooking,
    But a flat discus astronaut-food hamburger in some kids movie
    With a mach10mustacheman seemed like the~way~of~the~future.
    Record History and Modern Society existed for roughly ~14,000
    Years before that.
    Sumeria. Landscape or record label, be killin’ it in ethic
    And abundant versatile living-abodes.
    And adobes make me think of the flowers again.
    When I had no wall art.
    Minimalism and 3 boxes is all it’d take to pack my life away.
    I seceded from the idea and my vengeance to leave by 18 served its purpose for 18 years.
    After that it just felt phony like climbing in the back of a orange-hippie’s van to sell ice cream and some fishy-groupie.
    I did that too.
    This Life or the Last; Both.
