This town, this place
It's not New York,
It's not LA
It's not goddamn Chicago

so what are we supposed to to?
we settle, we live where the water from the tap is somewhat clean
and the grocery store is only 10 minutes away
comfort

I've been working by reading, this knowledge will last forever
unlike some 9 to 5 job where you're aching for a promotion in a sea of sad faces, beaten up, sore
but that promotion never comes, unless it's coming from the new intern that gets promoted in two weeks, bent over on all fours by "management"
can it be anymore realistic?

you bring the heat?
of course you have, if you know what that means

in the art world, if you can produce significantly and approach your target market with every month/day/week, than maybe you can make more money, and if you sell something in a studio, don't fuck with your gift, add an extra zero on it and make it look presentable. And paint those fucking walls white.

this is what I've learnt. from about a week of research into the minds that are unlike mine. I barricade myself in doors, buying cheap cigarettes and making show for the locals getting shwarma or whatever the fuck.

This place will destroy me, if it hasn't already. So make a story about that kiddies or write a poem. I hope I have inspired you to do such a thing. Make character, break roles and close your eyes when you speak into the microphone because the fire will break in the night and you, my friend, will break on through.
