I am writing this in the library at three in the afternoon with the intention of scheduling it to post a one am, which means that as you read these words I might be dead or making eye contact with an exotic stranger (and not even like saying anything, just letting that small charged moment be enough) or graffiting “backleftlitz” on the sides of tall buildings or setting off fireworks in state parks with a young British couple I just met and who knows what’s gonna happen with that, I might be coked out and imploring the people at the party to stay up and see the sunrise with me, might be seeing the sunrise and calculating (based on the average American lifespan) how many more sunrises I can plausibly see before dying; I might when you read this be begging (because of an unfortunate case of mistaken identity) an aggrieved car salesman to go somewhere else with that guillotine, I’m not the guy you’re looking for, what possible motivation could I have to tell reporters that Scanlan’s Toyota employs child labor, I might be for once in my life dancing, putting aside long-held fears re: a) looking ridiculous and b) turning my brain off and just giving in to motion, because when you’re not a particularly muscular or athletic guy all you really have to rely on is your wit and its hard to communicate ‘wit’ via sick dance moves, and maybe right now as you’re reading this I’m being chased by the police after stealing one of those High Street signs (and I don’t even like getting high but I’m figuring WHY NOT, you only live once right) and just as I’m about to be tackled by this one cop a 13-year-old sneaking back from his girlfriend’s place slides a skateboard my way with a wink and I get away just in time and the cop falls flat on his face, but really anyway in reality right now I am probably smoking a cigarette outside of a boring house party and expressing discontent w/ said house party, and maybe following that with a remark like “man we’re not young for so long, shouldn’t we be taking better advantage of all this?” And the other guy is shrugging.
