Things

There are worse things than having behaved foolishly in public.

There are worse things than these miniature betrayals,

committed or endured or suspected; there are worse things

than not being able to sleep for thinking about them.

It is 5 a.m. All the worse things come stalking in

and stand icily about the bed looking worse and worse

and worse.


I have had this verse on continuous loop in my head since I was about 11 years old. You've been there too, you know what I'm on about; when you wake up and think "WHAT THE FUCK WAS I THINKING?" and it seems like the end of the World, you waste precious time obsessing about shit that may or may not happen, or has happened, or you're being told happened.

The thing is, in most cases, two weeks later no-one cares. Todays newspaper is tomorrow's bottom of the budgie cage.

The converse of that being a Britney - you have to top your last atrocity.

There is enormous shit going on every day on this planet. There are unspeakable atrocities happening within 1 mile of you and over 1000 miles away from you. There is unspeakable breathtaking beauty taking place within one mile of you and 1000 miles away. There have been unspeakable atrocities commited in remarkably cyclical form throughout the history of humankind. There is unspeakable breathtaking beauty forming amongst humankind as you read this.

There is enormous self-pity, empathy, sympathy, lethargy, energy, synergy, beauty, freaky, greedy, sleazy, vaccous, kind, unkind, insane, unsafe, ultimate. There is.

THERE ISI am. You are. If you choose to wallow eventually you will drown.

I'll have a number nine please Max.

Yesterday I applied for my passport. As of next week I should be able to have brand new awful memories, recriminations, and soul-deep regrets -- but international ones!

cheers LadyC,

it's not real angst unless it travels well
