I was really trying to feel moved and inspired to write something profound and introspective today. In general, I feel conflicted and overwhelmed and self-destructive, aware of all of it but still not inspired to write about it. I guess if you are trying to feel inspired then you're probably not going to be really inspired.
I was moved by my mother's post today and the posts on 37 days but the one thing that I can't get out of my head is this . . . Tofurky Kielbasa. Even the raccoons don't want it.
I tried the above veggie sausage and after eating it twice just couldn't embrace it so I pitched it. Invariably, when I take the trash outside there are empty packages on the ground of things formerly in the trash that I couldn't believe any animal would want, starving or otherwise. Those little fuckers must be desperate I often mutter to myself.
Well, today I was taking out the trash and noticed the package of my remaining Tofurky Kielbasa sausages on the ground. dirty but ALL still there. Are you f*cking kidding me?! Even the raccoons won't eat it?? They'll eat rotten hamburger but not my Tofurky kielbasa? For the record, I really like typing and saying Tofurky.
That's it. No metaphor for life. Just Tofurky Kielbasa. Even the raccoons don't want it.

Oh, I think this is a great metaphor for life. "Real" is always better than "fake," in people and in food.
There is always an allure to someone or something that is genuine, something that is real. We give in to it. We allow ourselves to treasure it and to enjoy it. We run away from the fakes. Even raccoons do this, apparently.
well it SHOULD be a metaphor! I am sooo going to start using it!
