The revolution revolution

Spinning still. [the sun may have exploded less than 8 minutes ago and who would know?]

At one time, the church still thought that the sun was the center of the universe. Everything spun around it. It wasn't until some very smart men came around and said... "This doesn't appear to be correct. At all." (and they took those men to room 101. Or fed them hemlock. Or something) Those guys were right. And this led to many, many breakthroughs that led to a lot of the things that let out lives be great (heh heh) today.

Why the history lesson? People say that we should learn and preserve history, less we're doomed to repeat it. And this track. Is on repeat. Every 5 minutes here.

Picture 8 billion snowglobes. Floating around earth. Some are large and beautiful. Others are cracked and broken. Everyone in their right place.

No one wishes to get out? No one looks outside of their snowglobes with sympathy or pity on the others? Just inwards. Always inwards. Forever inwards.

The car's on fire and there is no driver at the wheel...

I've been having nightmares of incineration. Things have been catching on fire. A smoky cafeteria. An accidentally burning plastic bag. A burning TGIFs. Curiousity about the fifth slaughterhouse and firestorms. Perhaps not curiousity. Perhaps anxiety. Perhaps the thought of ultimate dread. [the cringing at the gory details]

Worse than this fractured social scene. The horrific sounds of houses splitting in half. Worse than sagging eyes and snapping jaws.

Perhaps not worse than the thought of yourself above others. Perhaps not worse than skewed perceptions.[self,others,world] Perhaps not worse than the way we treat each other.

I am happy, perhaps, but not glad. I no longer know which way is up. I am thinking that perhaps, I've fallen too far down the page. In the backseat of a life on fast forward. [differential equate to get the air resistance on my hand out of the window]

Fresh out

I don't know. I feel angsty. But it's hard for me to express.

My parents laughed at my statement when I told them that I was staying here to study for my test monday. It's funny. Yeah. I am laughing my fucking ass off. I guess they are frest out of support for me or something. Or I am only around now to drain their bank account and babysit their kids.

It's got me in a great mood this weekend, can't you tell?

Disorder

Man, not much over 20, walks into a deli. With no more than a bag full of merchandise. [out the backdoor, down the stairway, into no mans land] "Cologne" he says to the man behind the counter making minimum wage. It's from victorias secret, if I remember right. He hands it to the man, telling him to open it and smell it. The man has the gleam in his eyes. Such a luxury it would be. He may have thought of the old times, when life was hard. Now the kid is selling him cologne. But alas, it's not to be. He can't afford it. Relucently, he hands it back. The kid turns to me. As if I'd be interested. He moves on, without buying anything. Just a kid wielding a carrot in front of someone who may never get to it.

Videotape

Hush up. Don't say a word about it. Talk only in doublespeak. Victims quick to come down with Stockholm Syndrome. Finger over your lips, they're behind you. Paranoia is reality.
He's born again, so he's got to be a good president. Never mind the way he speaks. Never mind the horrid ideas. {bible's inerrant, don'tchaknow?} [spinning away on videotape] One view is right, his. The man running for the position of the Presidency of the United States of America via the Republican ticket does not believe Darwin is correct, citing the bible as his only source. Huckabee will cause the toppling of America.
