Awesome yesterday

A precarious affirmation to the world. I write 'Hello...I'm Awesome" in blunt, black marker and adhere the sticky, white label to my chest. The day unfolds and for a while I feel untouchable. Oblivious to the curious gazes of strangers who smirk upon my cool, diffident nerve.

Today, I rip off the label and crumple it between my fingers. Not awesome today. I cut the tip of my finger today on a 16 millimetre conduit rod. Those dangerous motherfuckers!They are probably sick of holding up curtains, craving a new and rebellious purpose in life.

Today, I wrap mugs in newspaper. Today, I tell people that eftpos is down and I'd prefer it if they paid in cash or credit. Yesterday was better, Yesterday I was awesome.
