how does gravity both smooth out wrinkles in hanging fabric
and engrave them into your face?
scales can be balanced by both addition or subtraction.
hold a mirror up to an idiot
and they will see you.
resorting to your power in numbers proves that you're powerless.
when what used to be wrested
goes to market.
simplifying complexity
amplifying mediocrity
awarding loyalty
misunderstanding global hierarchy
sibling rivalry
the people who must exert power over you
are really presenting their measly offerings
to you
a person they see
as powerful.
some social media text slides
are better than others.
your opinion
or what you think
is of little significance
anyone who tells you otherwise
feels insignificant.
sometimes
full-tilt looks like someone throwing spaghetti on the wall
to see what sticks
other times
it looks like a poser with something to prove.
the privilege of boredom
is a privilege of freedom
financial freedom.
the people who confuse
spending power
with the power of money
are probably jobbing multiple jobs.
if someone is so desperately lost
that they're about to kill you over some belief they have in their head
tell them that they are right
agree with them
tell them everything you need to tell them
in order for them to feel validated
&if you're lucky
that'll be enough to convince them to kill themselves
instead of you.
learning is how you find out what you don't know
&so
you should definitely look at someone
who either
refuses to learn or spends no time learning
as if they are a threat to your bodily well-being
because they are.
it's a cylinder
about a foot tall
your hand fits comfortably around it
you hold it like a handle-less cup
&it's squishy
&it's full of some sort of liquid
you can squeeze it
so you place your hand directly in the middle of the cylinder
exactly half of the cylinder rises upward
above your hand
&exactly half extends down
you begin to squeeze it
the liquid above your thumb
begins to expand the upper portion of the cylinder outward
it's getting fatter
&below your thumb the cylinder begins to expand outward
it's getting fatter
too
&the middle is squeezed
until bottom-cylinder liquid
can no longer
move freely into top-cylinder liquid
&vice versa
so really
all you gotta be
is greater than fifty
