i'm miserable; i'm droll. i take a hammer to whatever conclusion i've constructed. i think that act was worthless. i understand why people sit in the sun and let themselves burn a little. not all acts end in gratification. but it's done, as marble cannot be unchipped from the sculpture. i take a hammer to the sculpture. every moment of my life is a tally mark. when i step back someday, what will it illustrate? i take a hammer to the metaphor. i think that act was worthwhile.
