Your scaredy cat's gone sideways through
our paved grassland highways to make sure not to look directly into the building's eyes
under the assurance from the neuron groundskeepers that this boy can keep himself sound
listen closely he's not been there for a while and now we're sure he's
openly paranoid about the outside world we hope it's not permanent(It pr
obably is)
Keep your kids close, because they could end up like this guy, thinking his roommates are
looking for a reservation at Dorsia
in fact
keen observations will show that the world isn't against him and won't ever be
Everyone–
you know maybe not everyone– but at least some people are his friends, not that he'll see that
or even acknowledge it for the next few years, we guess it's hard being a newborn adult
under what circumstances this came about we dunno, it's not our job to figure that out
very soon it won't be our job to do anything but be burned
except for the ones next to us who get to be notebooked and filled with water, at the start the kid
saw us as a big threat, maybe the most memorable part of his first few months staying here,
excerpts from chicken-scratch confessionals will show his decayed state
eventually he'll come to an agreement and
no longer refuse the help,
After all
Good people will make him cough the ashes out, forgetting the
horrible tidings and we didn't mean to cause such anxiety it
obfuscates the poor kiddo thankfully we can say as a newly achieved
smoke stack that he's been doing fine and finally got
The spark back the one we were told left him a long while ago.
