i cannot, will not be defined by pre-existing ideas to which i do not subscribe so i am left unread, inherent- i would hope the same of the few Humen which i am fortunate enough to have acquainted with. i exist and profit in the massless disenfranchisementality presented in stereo, the volume of which is yet inaudible. superphonic, yet kindly rewound and so i play it again: equality or nothing- anything less demands a paradox to reconcile with nine out of ten nobodies agreeing they were not even present for evidence or deliberation . form a disorderly dotted line, integrated with unwholesome numbers. on a scale from one to ten, the average becomes numbless. here's to the hope that this connects you with the idea of who i once thought i ought to be perceived as in nostalgianeric musings. but that was an other-world-adjascent crisis- which i gayly attempted to relinquish with mundanacious carnality in exchange for the enlightenment with mass hyesterics in the repetitious, tyradical News tricyclopedia; power wheels as alternate adult transport and inappropriate appropriation; power rangers for congress, Zordon for president... this is clearly a lackluster grasp at generational relevance- power wielded without knowledge and worthy of recourse, but a knowledgeable spirit is more powerful than brute force and ignorance.
