empty weight [my concept of money]

my concept of money:

$30 is a lot of money 

$100 is a lot of money

$100,000 is a tremendous amount of money

$1,000,000 forget about it

and at the same time I know in the scheme of the world

$1,000,000 is nothing

this is how I am crushed

by the empty weight of an inflatable dollar

That's it

A catholic, a christian, a witch, a buddhist, a hindu, a jew, a muslim, a zoroastrian, an animist, an atheist, a nihilist, a sincere satirist, and a time traveller from a future planet all watch a sunset

They all say: awww, wow, that's pretty

as they describe it to their blind friend

That's it

That's god

I am not trying to hurt you

but please consider at least once

how differently you would understand life

if you believed people

- always people - 

flawed, fucked, beautiful, cruel, kind, talented, varied, programmable, reprogrammable, full spectrum and multidimensional

people

are behind everything that ever happened or happens or will happen

how would you understand everything that felt like way more than a coincidence?

horrors written off as part of a larger plan?

so called serendipity that left you broken beyond explanation?

there's no way it all feels so much like bullshit and at least some part of it isn't -

- enough to care because it would change how you lived, how we all lived, how we would have lived if the past had changed it, how the future could live if we change it -

if you had just believed as much in yourselves, each other, me

as you did in the idea that this is how it's supposed to be
