on being devoured by the earth

so we wake up this morning to the news that the state of florida has started to eat its residents. I guess one guy escaped from a giant sinkhole that decided to ingest his home, but his brother remains "missing." i have to say, that this distant relative of schrodinger's cat is most likely dead. so much for physics. so much for cats.

very sad indeed. i'm not trying to make fun of cats or sinkholes or this tragedy, however. i wouldn't do that. really. but what i would like to reflect upon today is the phenomenon of being sucked up by the ground.

because i'm not going to lie. there was awhile. quite a long while actually, where i literally wished for the earth to swallow me whole.

i was so devasted, heartbroken, destroyed. that i didn't want to live. i wanted to be devoured by the earth. or struck by lightening. or dumped from a plane without a parachute. trying not to land on anyone, of course. ok, maybe i would have like to have landed on one particular person and take him out with me, but that was then. now i only wish him happiness.

ok, truthfully, if you really want to get truthful, what i really want right now is for someone to sell him some sinkhole land in florida.
