"What can we do, us flesh and blood, but act as if we're made of steel?"
To become metal and robot parts?
It is what is expected of us- to forget our personal preferences, to cope with the qualms of American culture that we despise, to put down our dreams and pick up W-2's, to get jobs; to get jobs that we are not equipped for: to get pointless jobs, to get unethical jobs, to do menial labor for corporate monopolicia-megalomania-opoly, poli, poli.
"Work is work!" say the baby boomers, "give back to society!"
I am encumbered by the false image of myself, the "bum" me I am tried by the public as, the "bum" me I am tried by my family as, the "bum" me that I begin to believe exists- the antithesis of posterboy, the antithesis of $uccess, the antithesis of machismo politico,
( stubborn in the refusal of norm-values, lost in ambiguity; the seminal years of my own megalomania)
The refusal of the rat race! the anti-image of U $ wArmerikkka!:
It's a board game. There is one direction, one set of rules, one prize.
Deviation means failure, dissent means you're a bum.
(I am an proselytized, disarmed, and creedless to an imaginary radical movement.)
