eptx

this is really a horrible place
people are so far away
separated from one another by their cars
and the wind and the sand

the air conditioning is oppressive
the wind is oppressive
the looks i get when i enter doctors' waiting rooms are oppressive
and so are the television sets
(thankfully not omnipresent, but nearly)

the sound of the wind late at night is irritating
sand in my eyes and ears and nose is irritating
the large trucks that dominate my field of vision are irritating
as is their incessant boombooomboom

i resent, deeply resent, the requirement that one travel via personal automobile
i hate personal automobiles
they are so impersonal

the space where one sits is so small, claustrophobic
the time spent sitting on one's ass is unhealthy
hence the enormous size of El Paso asses....
hence the overwhelming abundance of merchants of fatty, greasy, food by-products
---usually consumed by people who never leave their enormous trucks...

and I could go on and on and on and on
suffice it to say
I don't like it here
no,
I don't like it here,
not at all.....
