listlessnesses




Full of life and other stupid things, I set out to do nothing (and do it well).  Instead of doing nothing, I did a lot of something that just seemed to AMOUNT to nothing.  "You do nothing well!"  "Well...you certainly do nothing. Oh well."  "You're not well! You do absolutely nothing!"  "You fell down a well doing nothing, OH WELL."  And the quotable continue quoting themselves, imagining their fingers forming invisible quote signs with their hands as they speak.  That's true.  Can't deny the truth, even when the truth is usually not worth telling (not in daily conversation, at least).  If I could shut my mouth for ten seconds, maybe I could tell the truth?  Maybe it's ...


NOT 

WORTH 

TELLING.


Then, nothing turned inside-out, and something became everything -- up side facing down.  To make a long story short: I've been there and back, mostly around and down.
