Favorite Song

It is a funny thing, how global warming feels good, and trans fats can be so delicious, and how often you drive to the gym to run in place. I get restless at night, and my eyelids weigh a pound in the middle of the day. On the street I brush against the man who needs to jump off an airplane to feel alive. For an instantaneous vacation away from reality, I go to see my favorite movies – about the lives of people like me. One pill makes you larger, and one pill makes you small. Sometimes I wake up in the morning and it turns out I am still in a dream and I wake up again; I think of dinner at the breakfast table. And that is just how I like it.
And my favorite song? “Only Happy When It Rains.”
