Achieving Serenity

The text message that made me realize I'm insane

Ignoring problems

ya daz koo

were the words that it read. I remember I was standing in the kitchen and just staring at my screen stoically. I glanced at the sink and saw a few tiny roaches; I was not surprised considering my entire apartment was littered with them. I should probably knock out that cleaning task today, but more often than not I'll just smoke weed and ignore the problem.

Moments before receiving the text, I was seated on my sofa feeling lifeless and lonely. There were roaches all over the floor, seeming to gravitate toward the corner closest to the patio door. I will admit it was disgusting, but I was still rather fascinated by the growing mess. Maybe it had something to do with my subconscious knowledge that I am apart of all this. Compare it to enjoying your own farts, which I absolutely do.

I saw my cat resting on its cat tree and was aesthetically bedazzled by her beauty- the elegant and regal way she was positioned and staring curiously back at me. I pulled out my phone and took a photo of her but deleted the first one, as the light was not giving her allure enough credit. It took me three tries before I found the cutest picture probably in the history of forever.

I decided to roll up the fifth joint of the day, and believe you me- I sparked that shit up. I don't know what sort of PCP-like substance my dealer was lacing this strain with, but it was like- one hit and you're done. I usually enjoy about fourteen and a half rips, but this one got me after just one.

I pulled out my iPhone and tap-tapped away until I saw my Contacts list, and I clicked the arrow in the top right to add a new one. I typed in LuWee and saved the contact using my own phone number, and the picture of my cat as the photo.

I decided to take another rip of the joint, just because it was burning and it's like come on- I don't need the air to be smoking my shit. I took a small drag, then extinguished the roach on my couch, tossing it toward the corner nearest to my patio door and walked into my kitchen.

I opened up a new text message and put LuWee in as the recipient, then typed out ya daz koo but before sending the message, belted out the words:

"Yo cat, you wanna head over to the Petco?" and hit send.
