weird abundance
Nov. 1st, 2011 02:36 pmmost of the humor is derived from the chasm that exists between the general public's understanding of how the situation has always worked versus the bewildering reality of how the situation is now
you have people expecting a certain standard
people expecting to have their every half-hearted desire, every fleeting whim treated as if it is a life or death necessity
and instead
no one has answers
no one meets you in the eye
doors are locked
bottles are empty
and leave no drop for me
there's no kick to this cigarette
get me out of this joint
it's just as it was before
before demand
before supply
before abundance, surplus, clearance, waste
the back dock jammed with what no one had a use for
with what they won't realize they needed until it is long gone
or they won't
sometimes they don't
the rain pours out the sight
empty swallows
hard empty swallows
another way to pass the time
you have people expecting a certain standard

no one meets you in the eye
look
the cupboard is bare
the cupboard is bare
doors are locked
bottles are empty
and leave no drop for me
there's no kick to this cigarette
get me out of this joint
it's just as it was before
before demand
before supply
before abundance, surplus, clearance, waste
the back dock jammed with what no one had a use for
with what they won't realize they needed until it is long gone
or they won't
sometimes they don't
the rain pours out the sight
empty swallows
hard empty swallows
another way to pass the time
another way to piss the time
