in this city you're always meeting

people working in content 

 

serving deeply stupid morbidly 

obese racist viewers programs

 

these people are charming

go to their parties 

 

meeting their vacations, 

wives, children 

 

eating while talking

about side projects

 

and what they want 

to be doing, ideally

 

recognize the outlines of their situations

and keep on drinking

 

thinking there's plenty of work 

in soup kitchens

 

why didn't I stay home, jerk off

and read a book

I would hate to live this life. Our hero has lost any semblence of compassion for the world outside.

I used to feel this way, quite literally. Then they gave me pills and I still see the world this way, but now I want to go out and be a part of it. Pathetic, no?

You've captured this morbidity perfectly.
