And while you're at it...
I'm sitting in this class, or gathering, or hearing
or seminar, listening to my friends talk, in earnest, they are sincere and they
are meaningful, their words are wise. I'm too stupid to comprehend half of what
it means but I know the meaningless of their meaning. thank god these people
exist, or so I think as I see them nodding, digesting details and processing
this process being defined in painstaking detail while I scratch my head and
start allowing wondering notions, such as: did
I like my front door? how screwed am I with that speeding ticket, how come no
one loves me,
Flash back to reality and they're all taking notes.
NOTES?! excuse me, no one said anything about taking notes! I have been
listening for as long as you have and I haven't been compelled to take any
notes! I don't even know where I'd fricken' start with notes at this point. WHY
THE HELL IS EVERYONE TAKING NOTES?!
Cut to now:
People are administering the information just
freshly given, on their little lap top computers, implementing the procedures
and marveling at their work as it all comes together. Me, I'm mortified case i
didn't even bring my laptop, and i know I'm going to purge whatever half
information I gleaned from the three to five words this speaker has said that I
actually managed to retain.
Alright then, I'm an idiot,
Back Up off me about it,
Back Up off me about it,
Alright, I'm not like you, not as fast as you, not
as sharp as you.
Back Up off me about it
Alright i should have come prepared, should have
been prepared, should have prepared when i was a kid to be able to
instinctively prepare now that I'm an adult. Shouldn't be so unprepared for how
impaired I feel when I comprehend just how fucking unprepared I really am!
Back Up off me about it, alright?
Sometimes we're just on a different page, sometimes
the smart I am doesn't meet up with the genius you are in the grand central
information station where we catch the train to awareness.
Back up off me about it.
I'm already on myself about it. I don't need you to
be bugging me about it. as tired as you are of hearing my bitching about my
steady mental ditching is as tired as i am to be producing those grating ‘why me so damned dumb’ sounds in the
fucking first place. I'll be gone from your sight soon enough, erased from your
roster, vanished from you existentially pontificating existence, absent from
your authority, you can just let the matter slide right at this instance, just
for a little fucking while, just long enough for me to gather my thinkings and
slip on out the virtual door of our incidental interaction. For that time you
can back up off me and let me have some space.... ;)
