my mind is
scrambled by
the escalating onslaught
of idiocy, cruelty, and
venality that is the new
fascist way in the USA.
how can this be happening
with so little pushback? i'm
part of the problem, going along with my
day to day while internally reeling with rage
and frustration, wondering what i can do to
counter the madness. but today offered a brief
reprieve from those thoughts, as well as insight
into the apparent apathy of the populace, when
my personal struggle became so all-consuming
there wasn't room for any other consideration.
mass loaded vinyl (mlv) is used for sound-
proofing, and installing it is like laying a
heavy linoleum floor--but on the ceiling.
it's floppy and weighs 2 lbs/sq ft, extremely
unwieldy, a job for 4 people but it was just
me and matt,
who proved
his mettle by never giving
in and we got it done. my
struggle was temporary, but
for millions it is relentless,
noses to the grindstone,
no time to look up.
