I Used To Be Called An “Old Soul” And Now I’m Just An “Incorrigible Adolescent”




a rant



so fuck you then



I blip my heart like a flattened blanket southern drawn


there’s never hiding yr heart – don’t try to start



[ieyou’ll never find your pain in a way that I can and that’s just by looking at you and hearing your voice quiver like my hands do in the morning]



it’s time to fight


don’t let’s make a (-sound-)


grufp, whapflafa fla



I said shut up


it isn’t easy, being envious



heat and now; these ways are arms that aren’t yours and aren’t around you


(but their fingers still shake and scold you; they hardly tiff the difference)

of the line

and think those awful

thoughts

your father thinks


those that you always

thought

and think

were/was awful

is awful



I kneel down where the patch of hair is most hairy


and moist



sweatpants aren’t meant for men



If you want me to say I love you, fine, cool, whatever, I love you, and you don’t have to say it back because you know you don’t mean it and I do too


Say fuck me instead


Say don’t tempt me, and then tempt me


Say forget what I said I didn’t say it didn’t mean it and you just have the most fuckable ass I’ve seen


And then I’ll pull up my pants and leave knowing that’s a goddamn lie



I let older women

ahead of me

in bus lines

even when

they cut


but then I think

how they’re

cunts

and read my book

to forget about it


even while I’m

standing


And old ladies

always

have such


large bags


you’d think

they were their

husbands



I hold my own in a whatyacallit?


spouse?



Pick the bigger guy you can


he’ll bend you over backwards


and say:


you were great


and you didn’t even do anything



Walk slowly up West 14th


Now walk slowly down West 14th


(Now tell me the difference)



Black people waste their time on lotto


White people tend to win all the time you hear


Santa brings scratch-its



Let’s hear it for the boy:


he’ll start jacking off right there in front of you if you sneeze right or ask



I haven’t been to both sides of the beach



Blanket me with kisses, with

the things

you’d normally

just give away



I said shut up

2 Irony, sarcasm, satire indicate mockery of something or someoneThe essential feature of irony is the indirect presentation of a contradiction between an action or expression and the context in which it occursIn the figure of speech, emphasis is placed on the opposition between the literal and intended meaning of a statement; one thing is said and its opposite implied, as in the comment, “Beautiful weather, isn't it?” made when it is raining or nastyIronic literature exploits, in addition to the rhetorical figure, such devices as character development, situation, and plot to stress the paradoxical nature of reality or the contrast between an ideal and actual condition, set of circumstances, etc, frequently in such a way as to stress the absurdity present in the contradiction between substance and formIrony differs from sarcasm in greater subtlety and witIn sarcasm ridicule or mockery is used harshly, often crudely and contemptuously, for destructive purposesIt may be used in an indirect manner, and have the form of irony, as in “What a fine musician you turned out to be!” or it may be used in the form of a direct statement, “You couldn't play one piece correctly if you had two assistants” The distinctive quality of sarcasm is present in the spoken word and manifested chiefly by vocal inflection, whereas satire and irony, arising originally as literary and rhetorical forms, are exhibited in the organization or structuring of either language or literary materialSatire usually implies the use of irony or sarcasm for censorious or critical purposes and is often directed at public figures or institutions, conventional behavior, political situations, etc

I am writing this for as long as my accompanying video takes to uploadNo more – no less


I swear


And I don’t assume this matters to you but I’m putting it in here for reference


For fact

And checking on the progress of my upload

“I like beer, MsGrier, and have to adjust my hormones appropriately”



As appropriate, for a rant, I refuse to look back on what I have ranted


I’ve been called fickle anyway I would probably redo the whole thing to begin with


But I’ve had this heart in my head for long enough, the rewriting would just be something I never do anyway


So I won’t do itI have too much heart
