i want to make a sandwich but the last time i made a sandwich i was living in a different country and i cut it in half to share with someone i was in love with but will never talk to again so i am probably just going to have a protein bar
what is more human
not being able to live
living anyway
❊
absence makes the heart grow fonder
1.
WELL WHAT IF IT FUCKING DOES NOT
2.
i am not sickened by my constraints
i am a supplicant, a good subject
i snivel, say what monkey is told to
monkey wants reward
monkey wants happy master
monkey likes fruit
3.
monkey feels dirty
monkey cleans
master is dirty
master doesn’t clean
master has other monkeys
master stops cleaning monkey’s cage
monkey stops cleaning
monkey does not like to think about master when alone
monkey likes being alone
4.
monkey does not want fruit
fruit needs to be peeled
monkey peeled too much
monkey remembers fire
skinless
disgusting burned fruit
fruit reminds monkey of monkey
reminds monkey of master
disgusting burned fruit
6.
monkey gets drunk and makes good canned chili
shitty, to feel in control
monkey adds mustard, it is not good
chili mustard freedom for monkey
5.
monkey wants to read again, finally,
after years of monkeying around
monkey was tired of being monkey but
monkey is subject to monkey games
7.
monkey feels like monkey
before the shackling
when alone
monkey feels happy
8.
monkey is no longer monkey
instead
monkey monkeys
monkey likes mustard
monkey cleans
9.
monkey thinks about master
not good is better than not bad
monkey eats monkey mustard chili
monkey drinks rotgut
monkey mustard rotgut freedom
10.
monkey slaps keyboard
11.
monkey misery
better than human misery
oo oo oh
