Well, what do you know, it seems that after a long continuous period of preoccupation with important matters (AKA, lethargy), Tatterdemalion has made another video. That's Tatterdemalion, the man who doesn't know the meaning of the term "first person".
I like to think of this as a poem, even though by most standards it's probably not. Most of the poems in my other poem videos incorporate some sort of meter and rhyming pattern (in fact, it's mostly meter and rhyming pattern, with the words themselves coming in third place). Now, the problem with writing like this is that over time it can get to be dull and repetitive (if it isn't from the get-go).
It would seem that the logical alternative to allow for a break from this format would be free verse. I've decided to take this a step forward and skip free verse altogether, moving on to no-verse. It's kind of like free verse, except it's missing some of the basic distinguishing elements of poetry.
This video is indeed a part of what I have dubbed the Ongoing War Against Suburban Sprawl and the Synthetic Culture of America. What this is is a campaign against suburban "culture", Midwestern America, demographics, capitalism, and anything else I don't like, consisting entirely of me complaining until someone tells me to shut up. Once someone tells me to shut up, I'll complain about that person instead.
Just a side note, for those of you who are interested, the reason they call it suburban sprawl is because the parking lot is five times the size of the store, whatever that store may be. Scary, but true.
