I can’t be happy if i break my skull however i think i might need to. these thoughts must come out for my sake and yours. recently i have been too numb to write but i gladly accept any emotion if it’s different. this could be my job. not writing but breaking skulls open for their ideas. people would come to me from miles away to watch my technique. my fingers are covered in the blood of smart men and women. my fingers are typing so slowly that i have to think about the meaning of every letter more so than i think of each word, but this doesn’t happen when breaking minds. this blood is so fresh, the bones so easy to move. why wasn’t this always my profession?
Business has slowed down recently but hasn’t stopped completely. I’m an old man looking at his previous accomplishments on the wall. that’s me in the newspaper over a line of corpses. “funnyman breaks skulls, remains in our hearts”. I’m eating newspaper clippings to relive the past. I don’t care if i won’t remember them. I’m pretty sure it all happened. it’s inside of me, right? I’m being interviewed by a newswoman who refuses to ask the important questions. She asks me when i’ll get back into breaking skulls open. I look into my desk to find my most recent work and when i look up she’s gone. when i look back down my life work is gone as well. Why can’t i hold on to things? i’m holding myself and wishing that i could remember everything. What exactly do i do again?
