(no subject)
I dropped a cigarette in my shoe
And dove in the water
Then I swam until my hair dreaded
Like flying on fire
That day I quit smoking and swimming
I heard some advice from above
Ducking under, cramming it in
I keep fantasizing humans as the Native Americans of the universe.
I use the term Native American circumspectly, as (I'm sure everyone knows) this beautiful country was not called America when they were the chief residents. Chief. Hah.
I just finished reading a awfully excruciating book about a Native American woman. I don’t mean her story was uncharacteristically terrible- just the book. But I digress...
I have a feeling that one day, after they've discovered everything in their galaxy, aliens are going to come to Earth exploring. They're not going to come all Independence Day-like. No way. They're going to slowly migrate. They'll start in places that are less inhabited because they'll be just as afraid of us initially as John Smith was of Brown Man and Horse Lover. Then, after they realize that their weapons are far more advanced than ours, then they'll slowly kill us off, if not by that, then by their creepy Alien diseases that they've already grown immune to. We'll call those something along the lines of "Disease of Sores" like the Dakota called small pox and our supposed modern medicine will be no match for it. We'll try to fight off the foreigners but they'll be too much smarter. They'll eventually feel sorry for us after a couple hundred years and build us some reservations. Hopefully we won't have to pay taxes. Fuck, I lost my train of thought.
