caffeine // alcohol // thc // sugar // nicotine

say something
that will make people
happy.

say something
that will make people
feel good.

say something
easily digested.

say something
to inspire.

don’t say
“this shit is
a nightmare”.

people don’t want to hear
that.

if you can make it
palatable
people will want to
hear it.

if you make it
difficult to digest
it will be
a nightmare.

if it isn’t
sweet
it will be
a nightmare.

if you make it
a nightmare
it will be
a nightmare

say it again,
say it again
about the snow
on the mountaintop.
about how it’s
bone white.
about how it
melts away.

a tiny bead of water shines from the smear of an out of focus tiny plant
