Hey, bro.

Yo.

What up? How’s it hangin’?

Same ol, same ol.

Same? You ain’t noticed somethin’ not the same?

You mean, like, same shit, diffrent day?

Same shit, everday. Everday the same day, too.

Today be Monday. Yesterday was Sunday. Different day, huh?

That’s just time going by. Everyday is the same day now.

Oh, wait, I dig. You talkin’ bout that covid brain foggy shit, that it ?

Covid was the same day, same shit for lots of days. Weeks. Months. That was years ago.This same shit is new same shit. Everyday.

Oh, you talkin’ bout that orange mofo? Fuckin wit us all. That shit?

Yeah. That shit. Everday. But it’s lots diffrent than covid sameness.

Eh, maybe so. But why you bringing up this shit? I’m tryin’ enjoy my high.

Ain’t meanin’ to ruin your high. Just it ain’t same shit, diffrent day in any same shit diffrent day I ever been stuck with.

Orange guy. Full of shit. Everyday. Covid. Shitty. Everday. Whats the diff?

For me, at least I figure being shut-in was what every motherfucker anywhere was havin’ to deal with. Kinda a we all be in this shit together, dig?

Yeah. Now we all be in the same shit again. What the diff?

We ain’t all in the same shit this time.

How so, we wake up, and there this con man creep doing his crazy shit. The gulf of america? Guy be trippin’ It’s all we hear.

Right. I wasn’t stupid then. Cuz here I am. Where you goin’ with this shit?

I goin’ to say that this shit we got goin’ on ever day is diffrent than than being stuck inside like everybody else be shut inside, cuz some people are likin’ this shit this time. And they likin’ it everday. They don’t have a shit day. They got a dig it day. Not ignorin’ any of it. You can get high and say you don’t care but it gonna fuck with you no matter how high you get. Hope ya got a healthy stash of your fav high.

It ain’t fuckin’ with me. I still getting by. Indoors or out. Never run out of stash.Yet anyways.

Good for you. But that orange mofo after all us. Even after the one’s that say they okay with it. Only way anyone not be hit with the shit is if you gots loads of dough. Like Fort Knox size loads uh dough. And that ain’t you or me or just bout anybody else you can see walkin’ round in any damn direction.

So, I gonna stay high. Fuck it. Nothin’ I can do bout it.

But you do knows what I’m talkin bout right? It ain’t same shit, different day in any same shit different day way of thinkin’ that ever came before. And the crazy part is, lots of plain folk just like us, and others maybe not just like us be walkin’ bout but who made this shitty everyday shit happen. You can’t know who they are. Unless they be wearin’ some dumb ass red cap. It bugs me. I can get high, too, but I kinda feel like it’s that movie about body snatchins. Pod peoples.

Body snatchers? Oh, yeah. Don’t fall asleep! Fall sleep and you become one of dem that get snatched. That was a freaky flick.

Right. That’s what this is like. Same shit everyday. But some like this shit. But they fell sleep and got their brain takin’ over too, jus like in that movie. Then they walk around lookin like you and me, or him or her, no matter. And they be all-in on what snatched em up.

I get what you mean now. Yeah. How many uh dose freaks wantin that pansy ass? I see what you be sayin’ now. Pod peoples. And they be goin bout their bizness behavin’ like nothin’ be wrong. They got their brains and asses snatched up.

Right, but they gonna get fucked same as everbody that didn’t get snatched. Ya know. Theys billionaire boys. And they only a roomfull of those cats. For everbody else not in that club, hold on. Includin ones that think they be pro-tec from this same shit we all in. Shit, it been what? Not a month yet! They let their brains be taken but lots of em already tryin’ to wake up. Some never gonna wake up.

They can all fuck em selfs. What goes round come round, eh?

Somethin’ like that. At least that covid shit had most everyone undertandin’ nobody asked for it. Not a one! This time, the shit is here and lots asked for it. I go about my day, and I sometime wonder is that dude having his Dunkin or that bro beard jive ass eatins a Mack Donald over there a body snatched type? That gal on the L trains starin’ blank out the window? Theys one of em?

Hmm. Could be, eh?

And for sure, that orange dickwad is a white supremo. Like before when he took over. But even some color folk got snatched too. Now how fucked is that?

That’s total fucked, yeah. Hey man, how I know you ain’t one of em? How I know I safe round you?

Hey, I could say same bout you. Maybe we both pods. We hardly know who each of us is.

Hey, we both potheads. And bottom shelf booze ol dudes hangin on. And both panhandles in the same hood. Pod handlers? Ha!

True. Who gonna think we the type what asked for this shit?

Hmm. Don’t think so. But our brains be on weed and beer an rot gut a lot. So, maybe we fell asleep and, you know? In the shit. As usual. Seen lots uh useless mofos be prez in my life.

Me too, bro. But this prez been gone en come back someways. Try and overthow the gov and he still be a free mofo.

Yeah. So, that’s the same ol’ story. Who can ya trust?

Don’t trust nobody. Unless you like riskin’ your luck.

True dat. So, I gotta get goin. Get a spot at the shelter. Fuckin deep freezie days.

No shit. Ever thing fucked and we gots to freeze waitn on grub stamps and a little social secure from all those years of workin for the man. Shit.

Same day, diffrent shit. Worse shit in my life.

Hey, maybes a revolt gonna happen.

Yeah man. Like the sixties. We all be in the streets then.

Push best come to shove. Orange fuckface got his pod peoples, but theys way more ain’t no pod.

Probly but then why we get this jagbag again?

Hope you right. But I damn sure I be waked right now.

No shit. But I bets lots of folk not pods wishin they jus be havin a bummer dream. And then they do wake. And it ain’t no dream. Then they hits the streets and get this shit over wit. Meanswhiles, least we got nuthin to lose already.

Tru dat.

Long as the pot depot and liquor store don’t close. Like coivd times, need them necessaries.

Amen, brother.
