Ill suited for madcap twenty first century world One garden variety generic male - the very writer of these words feels akin to an anachronism, whereby his being alive at this juncture within the space/ time continuum (July 29th, 2022 – an ordinary day) finds me mismatched with the fast paced civilization – ink comp passing the greater part of webbed wide world, where premium placed upon inherent strengths such as: supreme abilities in artistry, athleticism, comedy computers, horse whispering (nay-saying patriarchal system - particularly wrought courtesy White Anglo Saxon Protestants, whereby codas, dogma, edicts... crafted to benefit mortals who usurped land occupied by natives.)
