In the PsychoSocioscheme of things we see;
The ID chooses the Socio Path
The EGO chooses the Sym Path
The SUPEREGO chooses the Em Path
all others choose the A Path
Don't be a deadbeat
Beat poet actor man --
because I need you to
SUCK IT UP
understand? what I'm trying to say?
Kerouac and Ginsberg
loved and fled and
hated domesticity, but somehow
relegated their women to it
and liked their domestic money
to buy pretty domestic drugs
and Burroughs
SHOT his wife
(albeat on accident --
deadBEAT tell me the sym-bo-lism
in THAT).
Grow up and love ME
like you were meant to --
and
do. your. own. laundry.
