## It’s never the answer 052618 It’s never the answer Whenever you feel like life is really gonna be great if you buy this one thing It isn’t. Caring about a thing Will bring you pinched selfish misery You can’t buy yourself young No matter how quaint the store Nobody that has a store is your friend People are in business to make money. Period When are you going to learn this. If you can’t fix it yourself, don’t count on anyone else to fix it for you. You can’t buy yourself a memory There is no answer to getting old. There is no time machine Nostalgia is fucking stupid So get over it People lie to your face all the time It’s not their fault they’re not what you so desperately wished they were In your little fantasy world where you can go back to magic dragon land just by fucking off work all day and going to a picturesque store You fool. Picturesque is only for tourists. You just gave your money to someone who doesn’t give a shit about typewriters or craftsmanship or any of that shit Again No one believes in that shit. People are just trying to scrape by. Stop caring about things. You’re just mummifying yourself, Encasing yourself in a dead exoskeleton of crap people collect and talk about on the internet. I can’t fucking breathe The reason computers are everywhere is that they can pretend to be non things. As soon as they become things we can guiltlessly throw them away Into the landfill of all the nostalgic crap I am mummifying myself with right now, throwing my money at people and saying help me help me turn all this junk into an illusion. Dude. Dude. It wasn’t the typewriter. I am so sorry to have to tell you this Again. It wasn’t the typewriter. It wasn’t the typewriter. It wasn’t the typewriter and it’s not poetry either.
