if they are conscientiously avoiding conversation.
and if all of their pettiness is a device to drive me away.
to drive honesty into fallow ground.
to fend off self-examination at the expense of friendships.
to settle for small-minded matters of trivial worth.
these are harmless of course.
the laughter is vacuous.
and the depth, my friends, is just not there.
instead:
let us distract ourselves and our counterparts with moving screens.
let us look at others with disdain and prove that we are entitled to
our position and our popularity.
let us expel the eccentric.
let us delight in exclusion.
i have steeled myself for this:
the community is deteriorating.
and no one is willing to do anything to save it.
