The way out is through…

December 20th, 2007

I’ve been reminded by stuff that’s going on
in my life now that you don’t so much get
picked up and dropped off as you get to walk
the whole way between two places.

Society’s a big fan of the pickup/dropoff model,
since it fits into it’s marketing and message.

Buy the car or the clothes and get your soulmate;
buy the beer and get a cadre of bon vivant cronies.

The product is salvation,
and salvation comes through buying the product.

I wish.

The true way out of things is through -
a sometimes slow and slogging walk.

This walk will get you to where you want to be.

Eventually.

That’s the big hangup term for me and others like me…

Eventually.

Not at Internet speed.

Not on a HD ready plasma screen.

Not on mp3, 3gp, or iPod Video.

Eventually.
