On a long car ride home, I'll lean into my backpack and jacket and nap... but before i fall asleep, i look out the back window, up into the cold dead sky and watch as the clouds move above me. I'll wake up an awkward 20 minutes later with a kink in my neck and some lines from seams in my cheek. The radio plays oldies that the driver knows all the words to, and i've heard too many times. I imagine the same song being played off the same record over and over every time it was heard and think about use and age and wear and tear then rips in reality then movies and the matrix and the force and all the forces that weigh us down... like gravity responsibility or obligation. I wouldn't be in this car if it wasn't for force. I wouldn't be in many situations if it wasn't for force. I imagine how different i would be or how different everyone would be if it wasn't for the push of civilization or money and being proper. My face like a thunderstorm.
