Before the Beginning

Carpal tunnel… killing my hand
the death of my fingers leads to the end of my story.

The End before the start…

The definition of our lives.
Screwed before we get the chance

Dismissed
disqualified
rejected
undone

Before the beginning

no chance
no hope
no reason

Fuck it all

Grab your weak sole
pick it up off the end
shove it forward
fuck peer pressure try personal pressure

Say no to yourself
I dare yourself

Punch your face
grow up
get shit together

manufacture your dreams with construction paper and Elmer’s.
Plastic
glue
colored paper
and dreams.

Something out of nothing is better than the next best thing

watch your brain sweat out the goodness of your ideas
see the gray matter drip the newness out onto the ground
hear it fall through the ground
slicing through reality
hitting the BS of life
slapping crap upside its head
screwing over the man

The rebellious imagination of the people to come
Or the people sleeping on the street
Now or Later
Just a yummy candy or the future of mankind

take all you have
pile it up
light it on fire
start over

I dare you

If you can live without the life you have now then you can live forever.
