Most Of Us (from "A Slip Of The Tongue")
will never know what it is like
to have a million dollars. and yet we will watch television as handsome men and plastic women squander and fight over bags of money as if it were ever deserved. we will count pennies and squeeze them until they squeak and fret ever having to buy groceries. we will take terrible jobs because there is an opportunity to earn more. we will buy alcohol or jewelry or gamble as if this could make it all better. we will sit in dark rooms and try to sleep as the world around us continues on. and then, one day, someone will rise from this terrible nightmare and break away from this lifestyle; this person will rise like the phoenix in flames – leaving us all leaving us to our mundaneness.
