From marechera’s fuzzy goo’s guide (to the earth)

Blah is being dragged kicking and screaming to school, to church, to the dining table, to the nation’s flag, to bed without supper. Blah is how big human beings torture little human beings. If you are a little human being you must report them to the United Nations which has fists bigger than your father’s. If all little human beings joined together in one terrible scream all the big ones would go mad and do horrible things in their bedrooms. This is how little human beings come into the world. Your father and mother go mad in the bedroom and then you are born nine months afterwards. If you see your mother’s stomach getting bigger and bigger it is not because she’s been drinking a lot of beer. It is because she has done horrible things with daddy and you are going to have another Blah little person for a brother or sister [...]

Blah, the dog, and Fuzzy Goo live in something frightening called society. Sometimes the big human beings call it a nation, or they call it a very long word “infrastructure’ which was made up by a very old man with a beard and a very bad temper. Society is the secret club of big human beings. The job of this secret society is to make little human beings grow up. Growing up means giving up all things you like to do. Growing up means not saying your favourite bad words. Growing up means turning into a monster just like your father and your mother. Growing up is to become blah. Very, very blah.

Fuzzy’s dog does not like the society of other dogs. A dog is a dog but all dogs together are blah. This is the same with all big human beings. Very blah. So when you are growing up you must kill yourself before you become just another very boring blah. If you are a coward, then you must smoke ganga or get very mean and drunk every day and night. It is usually better to run away from home. All you need is a rucksack and small tent. If you stay in society and the big ones want to beat up the other society next door they will put you into an army and you will get your small finger and private parts blown up by bombs. It is very painful. If you stay in society, the big ones will make you stand in line in the street and wave stupid little flags and sing horrible national song, and be kissed by the thick drunken lips of the biggest of the big human beings. They won’t let you pee when you want to but whey they want you to.
