The measure of my worth

[hardraverNYC]

So often I am bugged by people's surface talk. the language they use when they don't really care-their lack of desire to talk about anything meaningful. That's why I am posting this here. Because you all care and that gives us feedom!

The Measure of My Worth
It starts in innocent cocktail conversations
A contrived confessional designed to communicate my participation in this world
Paint my progress on the timeline to complete attainment
"So what do you do anyway? Oh that’s interesting…"
Interesting, Interesting, Interesting
That feigned interest
What do I do…
What do I do…
Well to be quite honest
I masturbate
I impersonate
I suffocate
I mutate
I hesitate
I medicate
I capitulate
I emulate
I titillate
I stimulate
I fabricate
I copulate
I depreciate
I accumulate
I communicate
I intoxicate
I reevaluate
I appreciate
I emasculate
I equivocate
I manipulate
I procrastinate
I alienate
I ejaculate
I super saturate
I free associate
And
I usually fail to articulate
I’m just like you
and we all need
to measure up
to a higher understanding
Now that’s interesting!

YAAAY!!! I love this!
How many times has someone passed you on the street or in a hallway and asked "How are you?" "What have you been up to?" The truth is that many don't really want to know at all! They are just being "nice". How would they react if, when asking how your are, you replied, "Thank you for asking, I feel like shit warmed over. I feel like I'm drowning in a world of congeniality. I feel like I need more money." ???
So we simply say "Fine. And you?". ACK! What silly creatures humans are!
Thank you for sharing the non-candycoated description of who you really are.
