In this age of
decay
while the world rots like a tooth in a glass of
cola
, a
revolution
has begun. It has started in the streets like all great
movement
s. It is slow and in a
drive by
you do not notice that it exists, but if you step out of the car and walk the streets, you will find it hiding amongst
used bookstores
and in
coffee house
s. It is the
generation without a name
. The generation of
X
, marking the spot like a treasure chest. It is gold cryptically hidden on torn and yellowed pages. It is diamonds found in worn out sneakers. It is a generation who will make a name for themselves out of the letters at the end of the
alphabet
- Words will begin to take shape like
constellation
s, like mixed
metaphor
s. It is the generation of X. The malcolm of the nineties; the
slave
signature of the millennium. It is a generation that will say no to long-term investments and yes to everything else. We will write poetry and
staple gun
it to telephone poles. We will sit all day with unabridged dictionaries and bottomless coffee. We will be different from any other generation. They will call us lazy and
apathetic
, so we will
paint
pictures of them - abstract pictures on train cars,
abandoned
walls and
bridge
abutments.We will sign our name with an X, because
anonymitity
can be
power
. They have already grouped us together, and like all great movements, it is the
segregation
, the
label
s that give us strength.
