Subject: the pure drop

the pure drop i am the pure drop, useless and living off the muscle of those working to produce electronics, homes, and clothes, for me and my partner, for which we will never give sufficient thanks to the unknown women, men, and children suffering in order that i have the freedom to write, to film, to play useless music that inspires no one, leads no one towards better lives or healthier bodies, doesn't for an instant correct injustice or lead to equalization among nations or individuals - instead i reside, not really aloof, but alone and powerful, with equipment not of my making, and in relative warmth and comfort - possessing the luxurious ability to think in any direction i desire, to write whatever i want on whatever subject, and to continue this useless work at my leisure - i am this pure drop - such a very pure drop - ===
