The Map - Parquet Courts[00:00:00]
Written by:Austin Brown/Andrew Savage[00:00:01]
You'll be uncomfortable 40 percent of the time[00:00:24]
When you open the gates of adulthood[00:00:26]
A fair warning dare I question its accuracy[00:00:32]
But still there was much I wasn't told[00:00:38]
And much that wasn't explained[00:00:42]
I decided to venture out seeking answers[00:00:50]
I went to a professional[00:00:54]
Can you pinpoint the origin of my anxiety[00:00:59]
The doctor pulled out a map[00:01:02]
I studied it and there I saw[00:01:08]
Envy bitterness love nostalgia confusion guilt and desire[00:01:10]
All illuminated like neon on the perimeters of a bustling thoroughfare[00:01:14]
Soliciting my neurons for their patronage[00:01:21]
Buzzing and pregnant with emotional potential[00:01:28]
Ships docking harbors like thoughts approaching the threshold of perception[00:01:30]
Towns of rapid traffic synapse intersections[00:01:35]
Forests of dense cranial arbors[00:01:38]
I continued studying the map[00:01:43]
It's here[00:01:50]
The doctor pointed to an empty patch[00:01:52]
There was one road leading out to an empty patch[00:01:58]
It didn't dead end but just sort of disappeared in isolation[00:02:00]
Right here[00:02:05]
I surveyed the space with my finger[00:02:06]
The doctor nodded gravely[00:02:10]
I'll leave you with the map for a moment he said[00:02:13]
Then gathered his instruments and neatly exited the room[00:02:15]
I traced the path of the disappearing road until it was no longer a road[00:02:21]
Tapping with my finger on what I decided was the threshold of the road's existence[00:02:27]
I stated it is here where I will retire[00:02:30]
