Good Work!

You've built a life for yourself...



Now what?

Summer...

...mason jar full of 3,000 fireflies.

Do you live in a country where you walk outside and fear suicide bombers?

Do you (unwillingly) not have any money and are (unwillingly) living out on the streets?

Are you not able to obtain most of the things you want and desire without much difficulty?




Well?

forge your own plain
forget your old plans
forger your oiled palms with the grease of grace.

"If you can't be brave - truly brave - then be a coward with feigned confidence."

If not insane
then what would our personalities be?

If not rugged, ragged, run-down and dishonest
who would believe our sordid stories?

If not belittling, bothered, begrudged and bedridden in the winter
how could we say we know suffering?

If not full of rage, hard up for luck, feelings of consistent and persistent self-doubt boiling in intoxicated heads,
could we regard ourselves as interesting?

If not all of this,
then what?
