Letters to Kurt Quotes

“The paper comes in plastic, a little thinner each week, a few more ads. Pretty soon there'll be no news. We'll be underwhelmed, over-bored & all storied out. The clouds ready to burst with our blue-skinned memories. Everyone with a blog, a website, an online store, dedicated server & two-dimensional quick-response-coded documentary made about their precious life. Our brains at maximum capacity, running optimization programs to recover what's left of our sanity. Still, we hope. We go see the latest blockbuster, buy the latest iPhone, zone out in front of our schizo-screens drinking jugs of moonshine corn syrup with our latent mutant meals. Facebook keeps us chained to our pasts, our posts, screwed in our seats... Scarecrows surrounded by night soil & spirits. Your acid shield may protect you from outside threat, but it'll never protect you from yourself.”

“Time & love dehydrate us; water content reduced in slow torturous increments until we're prune fleshed & feeble, ready for snacking. You looked fate in the eyes & cried. Your only viable option— drain the vat while the wine was full-bodied & pungent. A noble act, you thought, to spill precious wine before it goes sour. Makes us appreciate it that much more.”
