"can bombs reach US soil from the Middle East", 4G gluten free Wi-Fi bread and Raffaella Carrà
just got done breakfast, guess it’s time to go get my fatigue’s on. keys, wallet, phone. I guess I won’t need keys, nor wallet and are you allowed to bring your phone into battle? what if a soldier is a celiac? does the phone need to be in airplane mode? am I too old for the draft? is it strange that I feel like who I am being drafted by is actually the enemy? just googled “can bombs reach US soil from the Middle East” no question mark. no time for punctuation. if we punctuate our sentences now we may put a period on humanity. when I look around I see people trying to live. they go buy food. they work. they clean their houses. walk their dogs. pay their bills. watch some TV. maybe a little creative project or a craft class. it doesn’t really matter what they believe in because ultimately everyone I see has a similar day to day. however, there is a handful, maybe two, of real piece of shit guys in their final chapter of life causing immense suffering and making decisions for all of us and based on the fact they don’t seem too concerned with what will happen to humanity while they are here it is safe to assume they care even less about what will happen after they are gone. any day now.
I guess the perks of being apart of the nation of assholes obsessed with national security and defense is that your neighborhood will likely go untouched by outside forces. In war, your coffee shops will still be making complicated lattes, record store still bumping some free jazz, you will walk the streets freely in your workout clothes and AirPods with an air of busy-ness even though what we all do doesn’t really matter in the grand scheme of things (with exception of love). The one caveat is that the inside might actually be the much bigger threat. That’s another forever war that is much more insidious and subtle. They are no strangers to theatrics. We are no strangers to being lifetime ticket holders to the worst ever play on the world stage. And just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse, the next performance might even be a musical.
