Free Write Friday the 13th 2017

it's friday the 13th
students giggle and say jason and say date
and i say
you have a date with jason?
and she says it's friday 13
and i say oh i see
i didn't even realize the day or the date
luckily luckily luckily
i make kids say it five days a week
i'm reminded of time
i got 3 hours to kill in the teacher's room
should i tell you about the weather?
down here in the naka ward
it looks like early evening
it looks like 5pm
should i tell you it's 11:24am
they use the 24 hour clock here
so really it's just 11:24
you know you know you know
perfect for a gloomy friday
here in never never land
i sift through the news
it's all hurricanes and fires
not much has changed since 2013, but it looks like things are getting even hotter and wetter
but here it looks like a normal gloomy october day
should i go shoot some video
yeah yeah yeah
im stuck in this room
but not really not really not really
i haven't free written anything since 2013
but like i said
things seems the same but magnified
now instead of a well meaning symbol of _______________
we got a charlatan made of russian gold
yeah yeah yeah
and Abe called an early election
i ask adults
who will you vote for
i get that we Japanese don't talk about politics
we are happy with the status quo
we all have our houses and our lives
& yeah well who doesn't
i'm too american
i'm too something
some europeans surprised to hear it
you're not canadian?
does it all come down to education
or
are we wired
are we wired
are we wired
missfired
synapses
that brain man
that brain
i wish you had told you me you see hallucinations
i wish i had known you were sick
things would have made a lot more sense
is it all about me or all about you or all about them?
false dichotomy
yeah maybe george carlin was right
are all my heros men because of patrirchy // because women have been silenced since our power is proudction?
oh bb oh bb oh bb oh bb
oh bb oh bb oh bb oh bb oh
it's friday the 13th and i got a student who's got a date with jason
