Moving on to what I do regularly:
I wonder what these people are going to do when they have nothing to complain about
Except for survival
When they can’t take showers
When they can’t eat what they do
I’ve tried to fit in
That’s why I work here in the first place
To fit in
I’ve tried to drop my idiosyncrasies
Hide them and blend in
But it’s getting too difficult to keep up with as I age
As I experience more
Things I never thought I would
Or tried to protect myself from experiencing
Through rituals of anxiety
A constant state of something just to feel anything
To control something
To be something other than what I think I am
We don’t talk anymore
Everywhere you go
People are angry
Quick to judge
We don’t help each other anymore
Except in rare instances
Or in secluded areas
Such as my house in the woods
But here
I’ve watched the way others watch each other
Or who pays attention to whom
The hierarchy of importance is dull and unfounded
The ruse that they all live in
Confuses me
But I go along with it
They do things just to do them
or is it just doing things
-nothing I do is without thought-
Watching them pains me at times
And at times I can’t breathe
so confined to their plastic walled ant farm
happy
content
pretend play
all I hear are voices of pretend
little figurines placed in the building
acting out life
the fake laughter frightens me the most
