to feel less lonely

lasso'ing your solitude

What can you do to feel less lonely? Take prozac or put on your cowboy boots, become a man and ride yourself across the desert, like Jesus did, like something America the band could sing about, like that one song that you’ve been told is about heroin, but you don’t really think so. It’s so clearly about being no one, lasso’ing your solitude, taming the untameable creature, and realizing you must soldier on namelessly. Take it all on: the heart, the riverbed, the plants, the sound. If you can’t be everything, be anything. And might as well be nothing — the reigning champion of nothingness. What can you do to feel less lonely? Put the white canvas up on the wall, like every grain of sand you ever saw.
