the other day i found myself in a bit of a predicament when this weird thing happened, you see as it was i was riding a bus to a place i had no idea existed before and to meet a bunch of people i had no idea existed before and it was likewise for them i'm guessing, which, in itself is totally fair enough
so there i am now standing in the middle of a forest wearing my forest green rain jacket and i somehow feel like i'm eight or nine and no more and i'm just waiting for lunch break and wishing for a quiet spot where i can devour my sandwich and perhaps read a few lines or just do nothing and imagine that i'll get to be whatever i wanna be someday just for the sake of it
but instead i sort of somehow lose sense of time and place and i began to walk and you know how it is with forests really so you can really never know where it was and where it is and where it will be so you sort of keep going and you don't stop until it's time to stop or hide or either Lennie or George calls you
matter of fact i met no one but a weird yellow wooden horse standing on a lake and we stood there like the fierce animals that we are and said nothing until i began to feel like peeing and i went to find a spot and i unzipped my pants and began to do business and i thought out loud that there was nothing like peeing while you're really in need, and there's nothing so freeing to be releasing yourself that way
so imagine my surprise when someone answered that, indeed, i had made a valid point and that any release of body fluid was actually a good idea and a good treatment of one's soul
i think surprise got out a few drops on my jeans but i dare say we'll survive that crisis, and as i picked up my walking rhythm to get away from that lady i muttered to myself that there was something seriously wrong about the world now and that i had no idea how to fix it
not that anyone had asked anything about it to me, but i like to be of service sometimes even though i constantly let people down and make them feel bad and then in turn feel awful myself, i really like to be of service
so there i was walking in the middle of a forest, a gentle rain falling on my head not like your usual drenching pour over rain, i'm coughing like a tuberculous man and engaged in a monologue on how i could change the world
far in the distance i heard someone say SHUT UP, and so i took it as a sign
