Self Portrait #2

Human Condition

How heartless the man to hurt his loved ones so.

How foolish the boy to call himself a man.

How wet the water to splash.

11 and 12

Ever since I learned how to count way back in preschool I've always had this thing against the numbers 11 and 12. I would always get them mixed up and honestly I still do. I have a problem matching the symbols (11 or 12) with their names (eleven or twelve) and most of the time I see 11 or 12 written I always have to count, 9, 10, 11, 12. Ok that one is twelve. Or that one is eleven. I have no idea why I have trouble with this and usually it makes me feel retarded but that's missing the point. The point is I hate 11 and 12. But I shouldn't really. Because if I really took the time to get to know them I'd learn that they are both really cool. Like way cool. Eleven and Twelve are best buds, and are rarely apart. They're both way chill, love listening to funk and Beethoven, drinking chocolate milk, releasing other peoples pets/leash children behind their backs, and street fighting. Everytime someone loses a street fight in Lev'n and Twel's town they have to dish out everything they know on prime yard sale locations, which discos are hot and have the most honeys, or other current underground topics ect. The truth is the only number cooler that Eleven and Twelve is Zero, but Zero is always off the radar, climbing Everest with some Swiss babe, quarantining himself from reality making art or music, or planning his next big party that only the best street fighters will hear about. But that's a different story. The thing that really makes Eleven and Twelve so cool is that out of all the numbers from one to infinity, Eleven and Twelve are the only ones that don't fit the system. And while most people would judge them harshly for it, the truth of the matter is that they've got it going on. So learn from this, as Lev'n and Twel would state: next time you see something that don't relate, don't discriminate or try to hate, but take a cue and emulate, cuz to be proficient in cool is how you proliferate, mad charisma that make the ladies wanna double take, and that my friend is how you take the cake.

Punctuated Vision

You are playing a game in a proverbial room.

Everyone including you has a jar for a head filled partially with marbles.

Everyone is running around and around handing out marbles.

You are confused with the purpose of the game.

You run around and exchange as many marbles as you can.

Everyone else does the same.

You don't know why you're exchanging marbles or what they are for.

You continue because everyone else does.

It seems to be a race.

In the rush some marbles fall to the ground.

Someone slips and falls.

Everyone stops.

They toss as many marbles toward the person as they can.

The person has a even harder time getting up because of the overwhelming amount of marbles.

Distracted by the confusion you look around.

Aside from all the people running there are people standing along the walls.

You walk up to to one.

He is an older man.

You both stand there.

He doesn't give you a marble.

You take off your jar and hold it forward.

He looks down at the jar and pulls out a piece of coal.

He places it in the jar.

You look at the piece of coal and utter and inquiry.

He points at your heart and departs.

You open your heart.

Deep inside is a paint set with magical properties.

You take it out and start painting the piece of coal.

It transforms into a sparkling gem.

You continue to trade coal with the other standing people.

You continue to paint the coal they give you.

They continue to turn to gems.

 Everyone slows to a walk.

They are getting tired.

So are you.

You stand along the side of the room with the other standing people.

Few people come up to you and get your coal.

A buzzer rings without making a sound.

The game is over.

Everyone sits down.

They take off there jars and look through their marbles.

Many people find marbles they do not like and cast them aside.

You look through your jar.

Compared to the gems most of your marbles look unappealing.

You remove most of the marbles from your jar.

Your jar is now almost empty.

Everyone else finishes emptying their jars of the marbles they dislike.

Everyone else's jars are almost empty too.

Sleep is coming.

Marbles litter the ground.

Everyone searches around them for marbles they like to finish filling their jars.

Nobody finishs filling their jars before they fall asleep.

Others hurry and fill their jars with any marbles they can find.
Parents stuff handfuls of unwanted marbles into their children's jars.

Their jars look ugly to them.

At least they're full they think.

They fall asleep as well.

Your jar is also empty.

You look at it mournfully as drowsiness sets in.

The gems start to expand and fill the entire jar.

You fall asleep with a full and beautiful jar.

The lights shut off.

Everyone is asleep.

Tomorrow a new game will be played.
