Slowly But Surely (Maybe it’s a good loss, after all?)

Slowly losing my mind, in this world of things seeming to only really work out for the ones who’ll play the game.

I’m not talking about the basic things, like working, community, etc. Those things make sense.

I’m talking about being unwilling to change, fundamentally, who you are, in order to “fit in.”

The hammer hovers over the board, looking for nails like you. The blade over the grass. And it’s worse than this. Much worse. It’s not just that you’re the nail that sticks out, or the tallest blade of grass, it’s that, to you, the whole goddamned metaphor is inane.

Why be a nail, when I’m a human?
Why be a blade of grass, when I can be a man?

And still, others put you to shame with their bravery. Why do you seem the most cowardly of the lot, and simultaneously the most brave? Hmmm. Maybe just a phenomenon of tunnel vision. Limited perspective.

Man. Fuck. How would I know?
But then also, who the hell else should, for me, you know?
