what was that? is that all there is? who is this? this is it.

A series of short errands strung together
into a life            cycling
in the margins of utility
sincerely  for real  really
seeking authenticity
the subtle satisfaction that
comes with completion of a roundtrip
out and back
completing the circle
hitting for the cycle
setting them up
to knock them down
epic work ethic
follow through
tunnel vision
laser focus
         ·
meaningless
arbitrary deadlines
misdirected energy
goal disoriented
confusion    play-action   crucifixion  
getting pulled in two directions
had a hard time making up my mind
got to get good at making do
but don’t make me do it
like 1” slicks on a full-suspension mountain bike
like ape hangers on a time trial bike
like a fish metaphor mixed out of water
“how does this job fit into your five-year plan?”
she asked at the end of the interview
dumbfounded         seriously
are you fucking kidding me?
you’ve obviously mistaken me for someone
who operates under the assumption that
hard work gets you more than
more hard work

there is no 5 year plan

Sincerely, for real, really, this word salad with its "big fat religious image word" crucifixion is beautiful. And as soon as the word beauty came to me I went to Google to recall exactly this: "Beauty is truth and truth beauty. That is all Ye know on earth and all Ye need to know." Thank you to John Keats.

roger. roger. vivid images. to go with what works. for real. really. no need to to beat around the politically correct bush and pussy foot around the words that say word. WORD.

cheers to Erik Jahnz and more hard work. and a play-action pass to the tight end is the way to go on 3rd & goal and then if he drops it, a fake field goal is every kicker's dream TD... take the direct snap, roll out and pass it to the punter/holder in the corner for 6
