me sorprendo a mi mismo sentado en mi cuarto
tarde en la noche me siento en mi cama solo
typiando oraciones en gmail chat
me sonrío en lo que me veo las piernas o algo así
limpío mi piso con papel de culo mojado
me gusta vivir en un entorno limpío
a veces pienso en los demas
y pienso que el enfoque principal de mi vida podría ser otra cosa
pero luego no se me occuren otras cosas
- Translated from English by Andy Riverbed & Alfredo "Cofre" Perezjurado
i sit in my room feeling really amused at myself
late at night i sit alone on my bed
typing sentences into gmail chat
i grin while looking at my legs or something
i clean my floor with wet toilet paper
i like to live in a clean environment
sometimes i think about people
and i think that my main focus in life might be on something else
but then i can't really think of other things

big macs
abro la kombucha está
y me supó a big mac
nunca me había occurido una jodienda así
pense en como me sentía
pienso que me sentía como mierda
- Translated from English by Andy Riverbed & Alfredo "Cofre" Perezjurado
big macs
i opened my kombucha
it tasted like big macs
that hasn't happened before
i thought about how i felt
i think i felt really bad
- Tao Lin
sin rumbo
caminé debajo lluvia
en ruta a la biblioteca.
imaginé que el aire era agua y la lluvia era bulbujas
y estaba en algún lugar debajo del oceano atlantíco
y los carros eran almejas flotantes
y la gente eran calamares pequeños.
me reí de una persona corriendo una bici:
un calamar en una bici.
alguien debería hacer eso en un comíc.
y luego pensé en ella.
lo mas probable que se siente insegura,
o a lo mejor no entiende porque me río.
uno no ve cosas así todo los días.
¿como le podría explicar mis procesos mentales
y como podría saber que estaba pensando ella?
a lo mejor debería hacerme el loco o que estoy endrogao o algo así.
es divertido hacerme de cosas así.
cuando tenía catorce años,
mi amiga se hizo la muerta,
acostada con sus brazos inánimadas en el aire
en una carreta roja.
yo la empujaba por las calles del suburbío
actuando como si estuviese abiertamente matando gente
y transportandolos por el día.
no me importaba si la gente aprobaban de mi comportamiento destructivo.
es difícil explicar porque eso me daba gracía,
especialmente ahora,
cuando los edifcíos que paso son arrecifes de coral gigantes.
- Translated from English by Andy Riverbed
aimless
i walked through the rain
on my way to the library.
i imagined the air was water and the rain was bubbles
and i was somewhere under the atlantic ocean
and the cars were floating clams
and the people were small squids.
i laughed out loud at a lady riding a bicycle:
a squid on a bicycle.
someone should make that into a comic.
and then i thought about her.
she probably feels insecure,
or maybe she doesn't understand why i'm laughing.
it's not everyday that you see these things.
how could i explain my thought process to her,
and how could i possibly know what she was thinking?
maybe i should pretend i'm crazy and on drugs or something.
it's fun to pretend like that.
when i was fourteen,
my friend pretended she was dead,
lying down
with her arms lifeless in the air,
in a red wagon
while i pushed her through suburban streets
acting like i was openly murdering people
and moving them around in the daylight.
i didn't care if people would approve of my unusually destructive behavior.
it is hard to explain why that was funny to me,
and especially now,
when the buildings i walk by are giant coral reefs.

And the Wayward is still looking for art donations to sell and benefit the store in the University of Florida's Art Walk which will occur January 30th. Don't think about it, just do it!
