We Silverstein'd ourselves to the ceiling and our laces got caught in the fan so now we're waiting for
our shoes to fly off and, if I'm frank, this is bad ballpark etiquette and we're gonna get smacked for
bunting to reiterate; that is just to say we ate the voices that were in the icebox so cool and crying for
their dignity, I'm not afraid but I am wary the same way a doe doesn't have a right to fear cars since
they don't know what a car is they just know that suddenly it gets bright and then they're not there
anymore, it's a simple kind of terror that comes from keeping the unknown at a distance, we can't let
anyone let us know we're scared my peers are pissed and there's no real way to have them come down
since instead of letting their feet fly out naturally they figure making a noose of their strings is the
way to scream at the blades that have them tangled. The fan didn't do shit to you and you didn't ask
to fall up into it, please keep this in mind that not only do I not have all the answers and most of what I
say is bullshit so let me fill space (itisentirelypossiblethisfandickedyouoverreallygoodIdunno) and We
Have Nothing To Fear But To—HAVE Our Wrights taken away, frankly we could use less airplanes
and more comics, because funny matters and what was once meant to be for kings at kings is now at
kings for kings and
everybody—Is that
too heavy handed
for you (The Endless
You, the You that
doesn't make any
sense)? I feel like
you can use more
pepper to substitute
your sneezing with
a little extra oomph
I fear for the designated
screaming areas but
maybe if we brand
together we can
turn this country
business into a
more empathetic place
