"basically cannon fodder"

"Nobody knows who the enemy is, 'cause he never goes in hiding
He's slitting our throats right in front of our eyes
While we pull the casket, he's riding
Better get it together, better get it together!
And see what's happening to you and you and you!"
(eugene mcdaniels "headless heroes")

my time is about to expire in wassaic. now that i'm fully adjusted into the hamlet lifestyle, it's almost time to zoom back to brooklyn. sucks! i should probably be relaxing and enjoying the peace and quiet before returning to crazy nyc, but instead i'm scratching out a couple more paintings.
