/lit/ - Literature

I'm too lazy to read a whole book these days. I've started more books this year than I've finished. I own more books than anything else. Something is wrong. Most days I'm not doing anything more than browsing 4chan. I'm enrolled in university but I'm not taking any courses. I at least regularly exercise but it's like a daily grain of sand dropped into a beach of misery. Sometimes I have bursts of energy. I'm passionate about learning languages, but really I can't focus on that all day either.

When the choice is between those two bad options, she'll either back out and ignore both, or she'll default to biology and gravitate to whoever the strong one is. It's a little counterintuitive if you've swallowed the meme that many "nice guys," including myself formerly, have swallowed, the meme that men and women are THE SAME in most or all respects. But if you analyze their roles in the animal kingdom and how that translates to intelligent human souls being ridden by the pilot of their instincts, well, then it makes sense.
tl;dr yes women would (in general!) rather be with a jackass than a wimp. It doesn't mean she considers either situation ideal.

I'm very tired, anons, but I still have 900 words to write. I'm tired :(

PEPE'S ULTIMATUM / WOJAK'S DREAM


[*cursor blinking*]

Dangling out the screen [*sigh*] my miscarried
legs kick rain. Nowhere
bore me to nowhere . . . and dry grows every bed.

—You’ll never [*yawn*] get likes
like that [*wields
Wojak’s fleshlight like a bat*] wanna know, my unborn youtube

star, [*swings*] how to stop staring and get inside the screen? [*cocks
fleshlight, takes
aim*] Go out with a bang and the news’ll
turn your face to tweets—think what gnashing of

mice, your mother, your father keyboard-bent like you, grief
posting, heads turned to hospitals! What
went

wrong!? —No Pepe, no I kill
nothing but time, I make live nothing but mold in the shower, moths
beneath the bed, ticks I’m too —Dead? [*winds

up*] you know who’s dead? You know how many you Wojaks have poleaxed
pink, how many buried, strung
up to catch

the wind thru leaves . . . no, no unbloodied land left to stand
on no more. So don’t [*bonk*] play dove
with me,
darling. Love and let love or pick up

the AR-15 [*hands off fleshlight, slaps fins
round Wojak’s shins and curls up like a graveyard*] —Pepe, my honest maker [*eyeing
the tight opening*] my hate-
machine, I confess
that in the dream I stand on the childhood beach high
as my mother’s cut-offs. Moon

falls on strips of foam I realize are not made of white wash
but guns—muzzles, butts, triggers grating together:
one deafening liquid rolling

in forever. I bend down —You bend down? —I bend down in the dream,
pick a single bullet from between
my toes.

I bring it to my ear. I want to tell my mother —That you hear the ocean, Wojak?
—No that I hear nothing but the metal’s
desperate

breath.

I had to clean up a toilet like that, on my birthday no less. There was this black patron watching, hopping from one foot to the other holding his nose and saying "Damn man, that stinks." One of my co-workers brought me a gas mask.

I think that was a metaphor for life or something that the Muses sent me.

>this thread

I need a term to describe the oxymoron feeling of a big expansive space and claustrophobia at the same time, for example in an underground cave, where there is a big space but still coupled with that claustrophobic feeling.

Things like "expansive claustrophobia" or "immense claustrophobia" don't work since they can be construed to just mean a strong feeling of claustrophobia, which isn't what I want.

Any ideas?
