some people get paid less than others - this seemed weird, illogical - then i got used to it - it seems normal by now, and any different arrangement seems perverse - reward for effort and sacrifice is like hairy man-ass sex, not that there's anything wrong with that - i've learned that logic is not pragmatic, protest is not effective, and "hippie" is a damning label - there's more joy to be had in the grudging acceptance of the status quo than in trying to change anything - which is to say, not much joy, but little moments here and there - acceptance, as long as it's grudging, as long as you carry that grudge, write a song about it - no point in trying to change anything - if logic won't work then what will? when logic goes on strike, they send in the scabs

ce n'est pas
who
turned up the gravity? who turned down my energy? fundamentally, it's
physical - the mentality is a consequence - march fourth in the
review mirror - this woman is painting the seaside landscape in this
picture on my calendar, she looks so into it, she's having a moment -
somebody set up this scene, to photograph - someone dressed up and
got posed, for this scene, and got paid for it, probably a lot less
than the photographer who sold it to the calendar making company who
mass produced it, newfie kitsch
