20/20 Gonzo 33: Yucky Medicine


The street cred of the day, nothing else to do anyway.  Music shows, sporting events, restaurants, daily activities--not alot going on.  The boredom is intense, months and months of lockdown, a place to go, a movement to join, a huge vent, people.  Shame as a weapon, guilt as a tool, the sit down and shut up treatment.  No taste for it, like salty in a bad way, like bitter with a shot of burnt char, like yucky medicine.

Payroll day will tell the story.  Fewer paychecks, fewer direct deposits, fewer bonuses.  The boss keeps it, actually makes money on the interest, the cash doesn't disappear.  Poor get poorer, rich get richer, true since money was invented.  The after math doesn't look good.

King size mattresses, cheesecakes, headphones, shoes upon shoes, iPhones, bicycles, stuffed animals, watches, prescriptions, a Tesla.  OK, now what?  The stores will most likely not be restocked.  Can only speculate, of course.  I don't know.

"1st Victim" by The Mayor Dumb ass.  Loses the element of surprise and becomes the 1st victim.  Add to it, he is carrying an oversi...

Maniacs And Friends

last night i dreamed i forgave everybody for anything ever done anytime before. there were fathers, brothers, sisters, and mothers, not to mention extended family. then the people all around -- toilers, drivers, watchers, lovers, maniacs, and friends. things they did, said, implied, yelled, things they ignored, they insisted, they resisted. i was talking with each of them individually, taking my time, and we were committed. nods and shakes, aknowledgments accepted and replaced with a debt of some sort. a responsibility to forgive others in the same manner, slate picked clean and put up. minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years, and generations will pass either way.
