The Only Way Out Is Through
4 April 2020
Personal catharsis for the shitstorm we find ourselves in. Nothing uplifting, sorry.
- “We are trapped in the belly of this horrible machine, and the machine is bleeding to death.”
- “I know we’ve had better years; but bad years look better when they’re gone.”
- “This world is broken: you will surely catch it with your head when it falls.”
- “My head bursts open, a sound like a tiger thrashing in the water. Over and over we die, one after the other.”
- “My wasted limbs get smaller. This is the world now: move a fin and the world turns. Sit in a chair and pictures change.”
- “What’s the use of feeling betrayed? What’s the use of feeling at all?”
- “It’s not safe to go out; it’s not right to stay home. My advice is to carry a gun.”
- “The wrongs of our past have resurfaced despite all we did to vanquish the traces.”
- “Lost my shape trying to act casual. Can’t stop; I might end up in the hospital.”
- “Lord, here comes the flood; we’ll say goodbye to flesh and blood.”
