take the polyester

what else do you want to do
with your life .. ?

we pick up more things
like clothes,
music,
shoes,
hats,
jewelry,
electronics,
technology
and such
because we want to feel
in it
or
not left out ..

are you walking through the brazen embers
the way you thought,
or have you thought about it?

are you doing what you need
to be doing
or
is it convenient?

convenience is the collective doom
that waits to pull you down
at the very end with a smile
like that Ming guy from Flash Gordon ..

I wouldn't mind bein' out on
some prairie on the Australian or African continent snappin'
some photos I try to paint
here in this little hovel of reality in KC,
sure
I'm curious as to what that girl's nipple would look like
popped out of the bra and bouncing with the east winds,
sure I wouldn't mind having a car that has some windshield wiper fluid
to splash over the stains on my windshield,
I would mind living in a warmer climate like Arizona, New Mexico or California,
wouldn't mind getting a bit more in wages to travel to these
places I've never seen
or pick up a pair of shoes without thinking that it's gonna break my account,
though
the point is
what are you doin' now ..

this is what I am doing now
and I would do it wherever I was at or whatever
circumstance I would be in after a good trip or takin' pictures
of a lemur,
I
just
wanted to
make
sure

I had enough mayonnaise and mustard
for
later
today

and
this is the way I rationalized to myself
that it would
be
just OK
either way ..
