take

give me age
keep your beauty

give me a wheelchair
so i don't have to hurry

take my eyes
i need to rely


rob me of everything

but not while i still have it

the differences between a 9-to-5 and a 2-10 work week. think about it.

9-5: wake up to a screeching alarm in darkness and curse your existence
2-10: get up whenever you feel like it, greeted by a warm sunshine

9-5: clean yourself up, throw something down, push yourself out the door
2-10: lounge around, make breakfast, read, get things done

9-5: get pushed around on the crowded commute and stand on the train
2-10: pick an isolated seat on the train and spread out

9-5: get slammed with important business as soon as you walk in the door
2-10: walk into the slowest part of the day, kick back, and relax

9-5: it is dark when you leave work
2-10: it is dark when you leave work

9-5: annoying crowds and many cars on your commute
2-10: look for interesting vagabonds on the mild and unpoulated commute

9-5: eat dinner, watch tv, get to bed by midnight so you can do the same damn thing again
2-10: eat dinner, watch tv, go to bed whenever you feel like it

9-5: play dominoes on tuesday night
2-10: play dominoes on tuesday night

9-5: standard pay
2-10: 10% higher pay for working unusual hours

I am so glad my week of 9-5 training is over so I can get back to my lazy night shift that pays better. I haven't seen the sun since Sunday.

Argyle

I outlaw argyle
Already too easy
To identify the dull and boring
Grant me some camoflage please
The hunting should feel like a sport

I outlaw heaven
God knows your bliss is ignorant
Spirituality is not a transaction
You never know your account balance anyway
Sheol is good enough for me
If I do right

I outlaw the open mind
I also outlaw unicorns
Neither one exists
Just ask an open mind
About the other guy

I outlaw poetry
I also outlaw the electric slide
No one looks good doing either

I outlaw winning
Prizes are for losers

I outlaw television
Live your life
No more watching

I outlaw soap
Your soul never gets clean
Even if you obsess

I outlaw free speech
I outlaw blogs
I outlaw facebook
I outlaw all non-digital television waves
I outlaw myself

Give me a horse and a gun and a train to rob
And a bed under the stars
