Oh man, for the last like week and a half I’ve been quietly going crazy because of what I thought was a very painful zit that just wouldn’t heal. But we’ve all been told not to pick at our faces, so I’ve been washing it but otherwise leaving it alone.
Well, tonight I wasn’t paying attention and I scratched it.
The top skin split and whoop! An ingrown hair popped out.
I plucked the hair and OMG, I feel so much better! Like, even opening my mouth has been extremely painful for the last few days. And now, while it will take a few days to heal up, the pain is nearly all gone and I feel so much more comfortable.
It was to the right below my mouth, just above my dimple. Which means it was being tugged around every time I moved my mouth. And it felt like there was nothing I could do about it. I would just have to endure the pain that was preventing me from enjoying my everyday life.
And I guess that’s a metaphor for how ALL THAT is going. The pain is building up under the surface. A wound is growing bigger and bigger, swelling from the pressure. And when it’s all said and done… at some point the skin is going to split, the ingrown hair is going to pop up, and we’re going to pluck that motherfucker out and toss it into the trash where it belongs.
And the swelling is going to disappear as we force rich people to pay taxes like they always should have been. Otherwise we’re going to squeeze them out and disinfect the whole area, and that will be the end of them. Forever.
Just saying.
