I walk into a pharmacy to pick up a
precscription. I tell the pharmacist
my name, and she begins to prepare my order.
I sit. Others sit as well, also waiting
their prescription. I look around and begin to
observe the others, observe in lethargy, as
they don their most sociable face, as they
talk in their most civilized tone, and as they sit
in their most confident posture.
I guess, sometimes, I just wish there was
more discord than this. Less of the thing we
call normalcy. Sometimes, I just wish I would
see people barreling through the pharmacy doors -
biting, kicking, screaming, spitting. Just
so that they might have a shot at the first
in line.
I'd like to sit down as I wait for my order,
and observe naked men and women gawking and
grimacing at the people sitting beside them.
Observe as they scratch at their hairy asses,
and at their hairy balls, and to laugh as
they grunt like neanderthals.
