after changing my drinking regime i realised i moved to a different planet... it's days are ~36 hours long, they include an entire night and two halves of two days. this poem was to be a brief review of a sample of a book, the melancholic mystifying melancholy as something mysterious, not a noumenon in sight, just the same bland phenomenon on repeat, always in the modern age with urban environments instead of attacking old men who accomplished much, instead attacking youth... it's when he mentioned reading much of Foucault's madness and civilisation, much?! what's much? a lot, most of it... so it doesn't exactly mean all of it, and this is a person studying for an MA (masters in arts)... oh let me tell you, melancholy in youth spreads like an Australian bush fire, in youth depression is actually contagious, a virus of some sort, old farts don't bother each other in the same way, moulding each other... they complain about bad knees, aches and pains and erectile dysfunctions... but it's a sad comedy, it's not exactly a tragedy.. they're laughing with each other: WE MADE IT! youth can't say the same, old age used to contain the virus of depression en masse, it spread naturally, in varying degrees, but depression in youth is like A.I.D.S. or something, talking my old grandfather for long periods at a time i too thought about jumping off the roof... yet this is given the comforts of post-communist retirement whereby he was comfortable. i too read all of Foucault, one picking up **** from a dealer who worked in a hospital and was supplying lean ***** to rich kids doping... book in hand, he was sitting on his sofa playing a computer game, we were both at the same uni, he was there for business reasons studying oriental & african studies... but actually there on business... he saw me with the book and just said: oh man, heavy going, yeah? see... i should write something more on the subject matter, but there's already a bunch of coalminers digging in my conscience whether i start apply self-censorship to the whole debate, accusing myself of the Orwellian thought-crime; the great suppressors of vocabulary, who probably speak fluent regional slang better standard trans-regional English.
