Why run with the crowd when you can run around in circles?

Language of the future

Although I don’t want to admit to where I am living, (outstanding warrants), at the moment I’m stopping in a small redneck type town, full of wandering children who have no purpose other than to spray paint the side of my garage and who know only one word, which they use profusely—f**k. I actually heard a young man walking down the street having an entire conversation using only this word, giving it different inflections and making it sound like complete sentences, while his companion walked alongside nodding his head. Impressive. And here I spent all those years in school learning so many different words. Just think of all that time squandered, learning how to spell various words, their meanings, how to pronounce them properly, and how to use them in a complete sentence. I feel so obsolete, so out of date. Who knew we needed just the one word??? What a waste of life’s precious time, time that could have been spent climbing trees and saying f**k.
