11,040

There are some of us whom Miranda July will never fall in love with.

Our shirts are blinding blue. Ultraviolet.

I am living in an age that is absent of exclamation points, and semicolons, and parentheses. There is so much bureaucracy just to get a questionmark. Words get so endangered. There are ages and ages of lava or ice.

If my fingers were to engage a circuit, shall i manipulate it until far far past my bedtime? I would like to feel nineteen. I would like to feel nineteen ninety six. Staring into space, being lost for words, innumerable words, thoughts forming sinkholes, psychedelic daydreams, captured by a presence, the gravity of a lust, unbearably high and unbearably low.

Time is the eldest prozac, it fucking seems.

Deletionism. 5th-floor insulationism. Icecube deaths beneath the poisonous vapours of perfumes of sixty-year-old rich women.

Resurgence and gospel.

When i wake up next, north america will be turning towards the sun for the 11,041st time.

I will resist the urge of thinking that i have some sort of obligation to those that observe. I should know.

I will have a song. It contains the phrase "broken bullet", which is a play on Neil Young, who is very old.

Time only catches up with you if you stop running.

I had to Google "Miranda July." Evidently, I stopped running a long time ago.

Just as long as you don't take me seriously. There is of course my dastardly historic tendency to listen to too much Cure during fragile moments, which has been proven in laboratory experiments to effect cell development 'n shit.

Did you read Miranda July's book of short stories?

Oprah said it was good.
