Candy Afternoons Part One
Ya know….
I’m not here to play video games with my neighbor...to build another world on some
other plane of existence...I want to be engaged by more tangible realities that
fester inside the scope of society… not to fiddle in some artificial plot that seems
just like them…. And I’m not here to go to the casino with co-workers …I’m not
looking to screw with survival just to feel the depth of hope….just to get high off the
shock of joy…. hope is a positive outlet for patience…not in the dangerous
anticipation of hedonistic change…. Oh and the surprise of joy….warning…it will be
taken away from you if you use it like a drug …cause then it’s something you have
to abstain from in order to overcome addiction… I’m not here to gamble away what
I’m allowed to feel…And I’m not here to go drinking with acquaintances at the local
dive bar… I don’t need to change my emotional sensations any more in order to live
in easier acceptance of the now and what comes with it…
NO, I’m not here to bull crap about bathing suits at your pool parties, or to listen to
your window shopping adventures…I’m sure the type of blinds you get will look just
fine…and I’m tired of discussing what vacations you might go on… you do plenty of
nothing here, I can’t imagine… actually, I don’t want to imagine what types of
laziness you plan on indulging in… No, I’m not here to check out your gun rack… I’m
not waiting to talk about moist vagina… I don’t care what color your sunglasses are
or what type of car you have….
….No… NO, I’m not here just to fill the time with lifestyle pacifiers and lollipops just
to make the movement of the clock feel good…all your candy afternoons with your
sugar conversations have you constantly craving sweets …even after you gorge
yourself with Cadbury and Nestles…
… Yes….it’s another mars bars analogy just to drive home this point that I’ve had all
the butterfingers I can stand… Are Almond joys and reece’s all you want out of life?
…a snickers now leads to a milky way future…. and my spare time… my efforts …my
results need more sustenance than that…
