So this is A beautiful theater. |
I like what I do, Because I get to work In a lot of different places.
|
And, uh, recently I did a show in New Jersey In the auditorium of a technical High School. |
I forgot
|
that existed, technical High School. |
That’s where dreams Are narrowed down. |
That’s- ‘Cause we
|
tell our children, “You can do anything you want. |
” Their whole lives. |
“You can do anything. |
” But
|
at this place, We take kids- Like, they’re 15 They’re young. |
And we tell them, “You can do eight
|
things. |
We got it down To eight for you. |
” And I’m not saying These people are stupid. |
Because
|
I’m stupid. |
I really am stupid, And it bothers me. |
Like, I wish I was more stupid, ‘Cause then it
|
wouldn’t- I would-just all My thoughts would just be- But instead, Here’s how my brain works.
|
It’s stupidity Followed by self-hatred And then further analysis. |
It’s not a very efficient System of
|
thought. |
I have these dumb thoughts, “Duh,” And then I go, “what the fuck Is wrong with you?”
|
And then I figure it out. |
But the impulse Is always stupid.
|
Like, I saw this guy In New York one day, And he’s walking his dog, And this is what I saw. |
The
|
guy’s got a- He’s got a coffee And a dog on a leash, And a phone. |
He’s on the phone. |
So he’s got
|
His phone like this, And the dog’s leash is going From the phone hand to the dog. |
And I look at
|
this and I go, “Oh, he’s got, like, A dog phone. |
” Like, that thought Sincerely inhabited me For,
|
like, a full minute. |
I’m going, “oh, I wonder What the benefits are To hooking Your phone up to a
|
dog. |
” And then the other part of me Had to go, “Why the fuck Would that exist? |
You asshole. |
“
|
I had a string of bad- Dumb thoughts the other day. |
I was-I don’t remember What town I was in.
|
I was on the road. |
I was just standing In front of my hotel. |
It was 5:00 in the afternoon. |
That’s
|
usually what I’m doing At 5:00 in the afternoon. |
Just standing in front of my hotel. |
Because I’ve
|
been Inside all day. |
Just with the jacking off And the ice cream. |
It’s just horrible. |
It’s, like, a
|
horrible thing. |
All day. |
Just depths of fucking hell. |
Just-I wake up, I get, like, chicken wings. |
Shit
|
nobody eats At 10:00 a. |
M. Like, really-hot wings And I eat ’em all, And then I’m like, “uh… ” So I
|
get ice cream To cool it off, you know? |
Like… And then I feel worse, So I jack off and pass out. |
I
|
turn off my phone In case my kids call. |
I can’t fucking face anybody. |
I wake up covered with
|
Three kinds of shame glaze Just covering my body. |
And so right around 5:00 In the afternoon It
|
starts getting dark, And I’m like, “I got to be In the daylight just once. |
” I have to at least One time
|
in the day Be in the daylight. |
And that’s- I just stand there. |
That’s it. |
Like a fucking mental patient
|
In a bathrobe. |
Just- Cigarette burns On the robe and shit. |
Some girl telling me She got married.
|
I’m not listening. |
“Daddy, This is my husband.” |
That’s what it feels like, Anyway. |
And I started
|
Looking at people, And they’re all crispy-clothed And rosy-cheeked And full of purpose, And
|
they’re making me Feel worse. |
And I’m about to go back In the hotel And jack off another time.
|
And then I look across the street And I see this couple, And they were just striking. |
They were a
|
beautiful couple. |
It was a beautiful woman With a beautiful man. |
I’ll say he’s beautiful. |
I got no
|
problem with it. |
I’ll suck his dick too. |
I don’t need your permission. |
I don’t care. |
Walk right over
|
there And suck his dick. |
I mean, I never did that, But I’m 41 Maybe I’ll do the second half gay. |
I
|
don’t know. |
It remains an option. |
There’s got to be something to it. |
Those folks are having a
|
good time. |
They have parades. |
They-there’s no parades For how I get laid. |
They have parades.
|
Marching down the street To celebrate that They blow each other And fuck each other In the ass. |
Smush their vaginas together, Or whatever that one is. |
Whatever wonderful thing Those
|
folks are doing That’s none of my business. |
So I-okay, So I’m looking at the couple, And they’re
|
walking On the other side of the street, And they have a child with them. |
But I can’t see their |
child, ‘Cause there’s, like, A dumpster and some other stuff. |
I just see, like, A little head. |
And I’m
|
waiting, I’m curious What their kid looks like, Because they’re so beautiful. |
Maybe I want To fuck
|
their kid. |
I don’t know. |
That-that’s just me Saying something terrible Because it makes me laugh
|
That it upsets you. |
That’s all that is. |
Just so you know. |
It’s just-it’s just enjoyable To me that
|
you’re upset. |
That’s all it is. |
I’m not gonna fuck a kid. |
I wouldn’t do that. |
Maybe a dead kid. |
Who
|
are you hurting? |
He’s dead. |
Who are you hurting? |
I’m not saying I would kill A kid and fuck him.
|
I’m saying if I found A dead kid in a field And it wasn’t raining, I might take a shot. |
I don’t know. |
I
|
haven’t been In that situation. |
All right. |
Oh, sorry. |
All right. |
Okay. |
So I’m looking At the couple,
|
and… They got a kid with them, And I’m curious What their kid looks like. |
And they come Around
|
the corner, And they’re-and this Is a true story. |
It wasn’t a kid. |
It was a little old chinese Woman
|
walking next to them. |
And here’s what My dumb brain tells me. |
I go, “oh, that’s what Their child
|
is like. |
” Not like, “oh, she’s A separate person. |
She’s not with them. |
” I’m like, “Oh, that young
|
couple “Gave birth to a tiny, Elderly Chinese woman. |
Isn’t that interesting?” |
And then the other
|
Part of me had to go, “Dude, you- “Yeah, that’s what happened. |
Yes. |
Asshole. |
” And then I was
|
looking At the little old chinese lady. |
She was-there was A beauty to her. |
She’s just tiny, little, Old
|
ch- I was staring at her ‘Cause I was fascinated by her. |
I don’t know anybody like her, And I am so
|
not A little old chinese lady. |
That I-I was like, “What are her thoughts?” |
That was what I was
|
burning inside with. |
What is she thinking Right now? |
I can never know. |
And I really-the dumb
|
brain Is telling me That she’s just thinking- That’s how dumb I am. |
That I think chinese Gibberish
|
that I made up… Is in her Actually chinese mind. |
That’s all. |
Just- “Me chinese. |
” Course I didn’t-I
|
can’t know What she was thinking. |
She could be thinking Anything. |
“Eh, black people steal. |
” So
|
I’m like- She might- I’m not saying they steal. |
I’m saying that fucking Racist chinese lady Might
|
have been thinking it. |
She might have been. |
It’s possible. |
