Soft Rock
A Gentle Unwinding, Modern Times 2022
Soft rock, the director’s cut of Lord of the Rings, a weekly cake delivery. Let’s google everyone you remember from high school. Actually, go deeper, make it primary school. Brush your hair, take off your clothes and lie on the ground. Unionise your workplace. Spend the Coles voucher you get for signing up one casual employee on a family-sized box of coco pops. Tell your friends you do yoga every day but only do the yoga where you burrito-roll yourself in a blanket and nap. Put the bath plug in while you shower so you can have the best of both worlds. Go ahead and like every Instagram post you see about unyoking from capitalist productivity guilt.
Relax into the knowledge that hard now-times call for soft past-times.
