| Trip Report: The Ripped Report
|
| Yeh, hahaha
|
| Can’t fucking remember when it happened
|
| But I bogged a whole bunch of shrooms and rolled a fucking cigarette
|
| Decided to take my dog Pipi for a walk
|
| And I smoked that cigarette
|
| I walked down the street
|
| Pipi took a weirdly timed shit
|
| At which point I bagged it and flipped it in the bin
|
| I ran into a guy called Peter and his dog called Moe
|
| Moe’s a Burmese fighting Asian canine breed
|
| Canine breed?
|
| Did I say that right?
|
| Anyway, Moe’s been doing alright
|
| He’s got a fucking fucked lung
|
| Bit of cancer on the spleen
|
| 580 bucks of medicine every 14 days just to keep the canine out of the hospital
|
| Peter reckons that Moe’d do the same for him
|
| And I wonder if he would do the same
|
| His fucking story
|
| Anyway, got me thinking about man’s humanity, man’s best friend
|
| Man’s said humanity to man
|
| Fuck it’s pointless
|
| Maybe that shit’s… genius
|
| That shit is genius
|
| A yo-yooo
|
| Yo-yo-yo-yo-yo-yoooo
|
| Yo-yo-yo-yo-yo-yoooo
|
| Yo-yo-yo-yo-yoooo
|
| So I’m in the car
|
| Listening to some Dream Theatre
|
| On my way to Smith Street
|
| Bowie’s riding shotgun
|
| Pull up at a set of lights
|
| Some shtickhead with no shirt on offers to wash the windshield for me
|
| But it’s already clean
|
| So I shake my head: «No thanks mate»
|
| And he washes it anyway
|
| So I think to myself: you weaselled me you bastard
|
| And then I say it out loud just like that
|
| And he hears me
|
| So I reach in my pocket and I give him some change and we head off
|
| At the coffee shop
|
| Go to order a latte
|
| And guess who’s got no change left in their pocket
|
| Minimum eftpos $ 10
|
| You weaselled me you bastard
|
| A yo-yooo
|
| Yo-yo-yo-yo-yo-yoooo
|
| Yo-yo-yo-yo-yo-yoooo
|
| Yo-yo-yo-yo-yoooo
|
| Yeah, we’re standing at the airport check-in
|
| It was either Beijing or Shanghai
|
| Returning home after like 2 weeks of complete chaos and debauchery
|
| And Jules lights up a smoke, at the counter, at the airport
|
| I guess in only 2 weeks we’d adopted some of those local attitudes
|
| For example: if you ain’t smoking a ciggie in this very moment then you are
|
| doing it wrong
|
| We sat down at a cafe destroyed and tired
|
| I looked up from my beer and I saw this old as fuck couple
|
| They grabbed my attention as the dude had a Nat Geo backpack, circa 2005
|
| It was the same one I had
|
| Respect
|
| Yeah, the old couple who looked as depleted as I felt
|
| They looked each other in the eye and they never broke a gaze
|
| After all these years they still hung on each other’s words
|
| It may seem cliche, but it made me smile at least
|
| Fuck time; |
| love rules
|
| A yo-yooo
|
| Yo-yo-yo-yo-yo-yoooo
|
| Yo-yo-yo-yo-yo-yoooo
|
| Yo-yo-yo-yo-yoooo |
