MY STORE
I have a great idea I am going to start a new great store everything is made ethically from locally sourced components we make literally any thing u can think of in creative loft space filled with vibrant young people everyone is paid a lot of money, don’t worry we have made an iPad, it cost 20 000 dollars it is the cheapest thing in the store also works poorly sorry
GROCERY STORE
I am in line at the grocery store it feels bad and also boring I am in no way excited to eat this food the line moves very slowly crawling towards the teenager who takes the money
the line up is now 300 or 400 people long
it makes me feel a bit like maybe, this world was made for none of us specifically we are all losers mocked constantly by inefficient ways to consume foodand produce waste
FOOD COURT 2
I am at a busy food court they have all the restaurants it is in a very loud big mall A middle aged man sits near me he has giant vanilla ice cream cone he pauses to take a pic with his cell phone it is inside of huge military grade cell phone case He smile as he eats and put the pic on his intstagram feed I’m still there making small cheese sandwich with food I brought from home I think of all the pathetic and beautiful moments that happen every day in this food court
SOMETIMES
I feel like it is crazy that the people I know and see everyday have lives when I am not around or can’t see them what are you guys doing? are you thinking about me? how can I be sure anything exists if I cannot look at it
SMALL FRIEND
Small iPhone laying in the grass you play music for me you are on shuffle I am drinking beer I am alone how many times have i dropped you on the floor of public toilet it is uncountable, unknowable

MY STORE
I have a great idea
I am going to start a new great store
everything is made ethically
from locally sourced components
we make literally any thing u can think of
in creative loft space filled with vibrant young people
everyone is paid a lot of money, don’t worry
we have made an iPad, it cost 20 000 dollars
it is the cheapest thing in the store
also works poorly
sorry
GROCERY STORE
I am in line at the grocery store
it feels bad and also boring
I am in no way excited to eat this food
the line moves very slowly
crawling towards the teenager who takes the money
the line up is now 300 or 400 people long
it makes me feel a bit like maybe,
this world was made for none of us specifically
we are all losers
mocked constantly
by inefficient ways to consume foodand produce waste
FOOD COURT 2
I am at a busy food court
they have all the restaurants
it is in a very loud big mall
A middle aged man sits near me
he has giant vanilla ice cream cone
he pauses to take a pic with his cell phone
it is inside of huge military grade cell phone case
He smile as he eats
and put the pic on his intstagram feed
I’m still there
making small cheese sandwich
with food I brought from home
I think of all the pathetic and beautiful moments
that happen every day in this food court
SOMETIMES
I feel like it is crazy that the people I know
and see everyday
have lives when I am not around
or can’t see them
what are you guys doing?
are you thinking about me?
how can I be sure anything exists
if I cannot look at it
SMALL FRIEND
Small iPhone laying in the grass
you play music for me
you are on shuffle
I am drinking beer
I am alone
how many times have i dropped
you on the floor of public toilet
it is uncountable, unknowable
