    You DJ…magic?

    I do whatever I want.

    Awh—oh, well.

    Why are you so nervous?

    Just aM.

    Sit down.

    I'm already sitting.

    Lower.

    Uh, like this?

    On the floor.

    Alright…

    Here's a cushion for your arse;

    Don't get up.

    Thank you.

    I'm going to make tea.

    —I take cream in mine; two sugars.

    I didn't ask!

    [in almost no time, and some heavy clamoring through the beaded entry to the doorway, a teacup appears on the table in front of him; it slowly begins to swirl, filling with tea—it fills nearly to the brim, steaming, and trembles a touch.]

    Um…

    [as he raises his finger with a timid objection, the cup of tea plumes with a cloud of cream—and while his eyes widen with amazement, drawing him closer to the cup, two cubes of sugar splash into the tea; two tiny drops of tea ricochet into his right eye, which he palms with a wince, his other eye still wide with awe; the woman re enters the parlor, carrying a traditional tea tray, a decadent silver platter adorned with an assortment of sweets, and a tea set. She places the platter at the center of the table, and the table sets itself; the table is now set for four, and the teapot pours itself at the head of the table, into the woman's teacup.

    That ought to do it.

    It worked!

    Of course it worked; it always works.

    Very nice.

    I see you got my message.

    [still distracted and in a sort of wonder by the whimsical uproar, the man's attention is aimed at the two empty places at the table. ]

    Are you expecting company?

    I'm always expecting company…

    My hands are tied behind my back

    You solid wasted time for facts;

    And steady drawing love for oaths

    To skin we carve

    The path of ours,

    Orion's Belt

    Something seems off about her

    There is something strange, no doubt.

    Unwilling to be by

    (Sacred vows)

    Distant In the calling for forests—

    So we wait

    Tears as raindrops, though drought has fallen

    Then reflected in words of others,

    The mind gone,

    All else rotten

    Silk ties, my ears

    There words, soft voices

    The other seeking,

    One running

    Then came and went

    The summer gone

    The spring had flowers

    The over dried

    The tongue sparked

    Horror,

    Forgotten

    Remembered,

    Then, valued and

    weeping for something else

    Stranger tide,

    Oceans foreign,

    And lands unconquered.

    Heavy rain,

    Though tears has dried

    Heavy hearts as service ended

    Nothing left my ions, clouds

    Mercury, women, blood drawn

    Sad strange, headless, gasping

    Horse drawn outlets,

    Incapable of telling fortune;

    Dust,

    Dust,

    Dust,

    Dust—

    The curse has broken

    And still there was love there, and then

    There was love there all along,

    For there to had ever been

    A dance at all.

    I hate you.

    Good riddance.

    Probably for the best,

    Nothing‘S for the best now!

    “Best In Show”

    Name?

    McNulty.

    McNulty, eh?

    Aye.

    I recognize that

    You don't say.

    I shouldn't.

    Now I see your position

    And the evidence is adding up

    All odds against me

    Not a shiver up my spine

    Or a sliver under my nail

    Or a silver in your hair,

    Nor silver moon, or moonlight

    Silver stone or Preston

    Presley or Evenston

    —so it is—a game.

    This big network

    This big chunk change

    This been

    (Isn't isn't it)

    Rolling around in my mind, for days

    Very well now, settled—

    Then, there you are

    A cloud

    Nevermind the rest of it,

    It's what we said in the beginning

    I will always

    See you in another—

    I will always

    See you in another

    I will always

    See you

    In

    Another

    It's your move.

    It's been my move for four decades.

    Light.

    More visibility—

    Yo the ante;

    I have not dismissed you yet

    Stead classmates, taking

    Are you high now—

    Are you done yet?

    There it is again;

    The enemy

    Nevermind ahain,

    I thought I'd lose you

    And there it still is,

    Can it be?

    Love in my eyes for you;

    Even if you are at best

    Just a mirror,

    I'm a flashbulb

    And the last party at your entourage.

    I don't encourage any carbon dating

    Honey,

    But if you are

    I've got a lesson, for ye—

    Bored armor,

    Settle down, I—

    Got to tell you,

    Steady stories;

    Still foggy on my upbringing,

    There, there

    I say,

    Wind moves in all directions

    All skies get cloudy,

    Call rain,

    And then clear again

    There, there now

    All skies move, without notice

    There, there now,

    All is known but never is not

    There are things,

    There are murders,

    There are tongues

    There are trials,

    There are ions,

    You are right,

    And scared laying asking not to call out

    Therefore anyway,

    I heard you yelling with only a whisper

    There, there you are

    Right near the top,

    Where you ought to be

    And then also,

    Moving steady for forwards

    From another superimposed,

    Depends on

    Signal lost

    Very well, then,

    Surf to calling,

    Ring to spark, I

    There you are, my love

    Another light,

    And then,

    Again—

    In another life.

    I will always see you.

    The shit that falls out of me with just a look.

    We've all got jobs to do, and as it turns out— it might be really all the same.

    One job, different tasks, but for one, it's for certain—

    I want the peppermint swirl.

    Give me a dozen assorted

    I put it all on on a

    (Turn turn)

    I put it all on a

    (Turn turn turn)

    Woah, buddy—

    You should not have taken those promotional photos wearing my eyes, man.

    I am not very photogenic.

    I'll call you back.

    I could give you the whole

    Moon and it still wouldn't be enough;

    I'm home and still there's no roof over my head

    Hanging on to the edge of a ladder

    The top at the bottom

    And life on its side

    Like it's upside down

    Inside out

    Minus 1

    And I don't want to go there

    Minus 5

    And I can't read negatives

    Minus 9

    And minutes turn to nothing

    Gone the time

    All out battles with

    All who waited

    And close to those

    Were meetings,

    Designations,

    Heroes,

    Writers,

    Ice cream trucks

    Tough battles

    Winners—

    Games and

    Levitating on so secretly

    secrets say

    “God, Donald, you're on your own”

    But heavy greetings wash out

    All who were away at your essence

    Strings of gold

    Very wary

    Wavy heroin,

    I'm all galaxies

    Are you whole, in

    Stuffed stalker,

    Tin straw hats

    Carols in summer

    Marking stones

    Summer days

    Summer

    Are you in here

    Or out here

    After all had died

    And gone grey

    Still against my head

    The tender sparkles

    Of sparked dust,

    No stars yet

    Under city winds and

    Careful not to wake the sound of

    Delicate and soft

    Pink detergent

    And

    Careful not to thank the

    Conditioner,

    saved you

    Careful

    Safety

    Comes first

    Careful

    Safety

    Careful

    Careful

    Careful

    Calm down.

    She's a partial obsessive…

    You were tricked into writing all this.

    Tricked willingly, anyway.

    No, just tricked.

    You thought you were special.

    I realized I had to be when I saw the same thing twice on both ends —

    I'm just doing my rounds.

    Making the bed

    Playing catch up

    Doing check ups—

    Well done, boys.

    I know what you are now.

    The job is done.

    The job is a job.

    [I'm seeing my clarity.]

    Try not to lay next to me eating;

    Try not to stand here on such a heavy plane

    Try frequency,

    Dignity,

    Disgrace and

    Distress,

    Maybe

    Major

    Mayday

    NATO

    Bombs down

    Maybe

    Stay there

    Maybe faraway

    But I can hear you

    Taking in

    Shallow breaths

    Planes crash

    Plans fail

    And then—

    There I was remembering

    All of a sudden

    There was no actual plan in this

    I was just playing by ear.

    So you are in there.

    Somebody nail me to a cross and tell me what the Fallon equivalent to Skrillex following me from LA to Brooklyn just to leave me in a homeless shelter to rot—

    11

    And though eventually I came up kind of okay on the other side affects, the paralyzing realization that I never wanted anything but proper mating.

    That's, for facts, but—

    Now with this looming Over my grave I'm sure I've yet something else to worry about just

    In general.

    I was told to keep my mouth shut.

    Weren't we all.

    I wasn't really interesting in meeting someone seriously— in fact. As it turned out, I still had a little more muse to milk out of the last one, but even the tarot was being a stickler— I could risk ending it all and putting a nail in the coffin by actually watching the tonight show—but there would be a possibility it all would backfire and it would just reignite that spark, or worse—I'd become fully engulfed in flames by whatever it was that seemed to appear—and it seemed to appear so vividly and with rapid strength that it couldn't be stopped or controlled.

    A serious amount of money had to have been implemented to my paying attention to this, and beyond that— it all had to have been carefully premeditated. While at least now at the bookshop I was drawn to books from Oprah's book club, what had occurred couldn't possibly be ignored—actually, it couldn't be, at all— but instead of eating at me in its usual way, I had more just began to realize that there must have been in play some purpose.

    Feeling faraway from my actual creative self, there seemed to be something missing at all generating even a general sense of understanding of what normalcy was— when had actually been the last time I had been touched at all in a way that might make me feel as if I was still human— as if I was normal— but I knew I wasn't.

    It's time for a change.

    The thought of being with someone, especially just anyone, was bizzare.

    I gave up on love a lot of times;

    But this is when it became official.

    I was listening to a rap album I had never heard before

    And in this rap song, he said

    “This hoe got a 7 year degree and still selling pussy”

    What in the fuck.

    One way one way ticket

    Why bother getting a 7 year degree

    If your value as a black woman

    Is so low

    You can get a 7 year degree

    And still have to be a prostitute

    What the fuck is the point.

    It goes the other way, too.

    What is the point of selling pussy without a 7 year degree?

    She's gonna make more than me in all the professions.

    I gave up on love at all.

    That right there is how low value we are, not just to the black man, but any man.

    7 year degree and you can charge more an hour, but you're still a technical hoe.

    I want to fucking die.

    When I married my ex I was pregnant with twins;

    When i got pregnant with the twins I was about 350 pounds.

    So by the time we got married,

    I was 6 months pregnant with twins.

    He had a right to cheat!

    I forgave him.

    But the first time he hit me

    Like really hit me

    Not just like

    A heavy shoving or ike

    A lil.

    You know

    Choke out–

    Like the real deal

    Like knocked me the fuck

    Almost all the way out

    Saw the white light and everything

    By the time that all went down

    I'm like 170-180

    He's still, mind you, like 300

    I lost weigh

    He lost his mind;

    so i'm lets round up

    Like 180 pounds

    But in my mind i must be thinking somewhere

    i'm still 300

    He came at me with a running start,

    I put my hands up like:

    I must have thought i actually had a chance

    I took a fighting stance like:

    He said

    Fphew

    PULL A RABBIT OUT A HAT

    damn . what year is this really?

    You just got sampled .

    Say, what's his job?

    Well, that's an informer.

    Chris Rock forsure some kind of genius
    I saw him do GIlbert Godfried

    And Sam Kinison

    In the same show.

    The show was dated, though;

    He literally said

    “I'm married: I don't cheat.”

    I knew it must have been a joke.

    I knew it had to be a joke,

    or it had to be dated,

    Cause being real,

    I listen to too much kanye

    To even believe that

    Or even laugh at that

    Not too much kanye

    Just enough Kanye,

    He said

    “If I pull up with Kerri washington,

    That's gon' be an enormous scandal”

    I might have Niomi Campbell,

    Still might want me a stormy daniels

    And ya'll tried to get trumps supporters to turn against him

    By exposing that he fucked this bitch?

    That's like an achivement.

    That's like a status symbol.

    I'm sure these idiots praise him for that.

    He might have even gotten more popular

    That's not a scandal

    That's PR.

    On that note,

    I think Chris Rock was the very guy

    Who made me decide to stay single forever

    He talked about the way, apparently,

    men want to kill their wives;

    The way they fantasise killing us

    When we're in the relationship

    Now, ill say

    I never once thought about killing my ex husband

    During the relationship

    Even after he hit me.

    Never once.

    The only time i started wishing a karmic death upon this person

    was when I left the relationship

    And he stopped fantasizing about it

    And actually tried to fucking kill me

    Once I realized this was happening

    Only then did I start to think

    “Oh damn, i hope that motherfucker just drops the fuck dead”

    This motherfucker beat me,

    AND tried to kill me,

    Only then was i like

    damn

    “Return to sender”

    I hope you die too,

    You fat piece of shit wifebeater motherfucker

    I hope you die too.

    Only after he tried to kill me.

    After I left.

    Had to hire a fucking voodoo fucking sorceress and shit

    “yo , take this curse off me,

    This motherfucker tried to kill me”

    Fuck that motherfucker.

    Apparently though they fantasisze it all the time,

    I'm thinking about all the times he would play this song

    iroinically enough,

    By kanye west

    So maybe too much Kanye West

    Or just enough,

    Kanye said

    “I thought about killing you today.”

    He used to play this song,

    And beat my ass,

    And I never once thought

    “I hope he dies”

    Shit,

    After the first time he really beat my ass,

    He ran away.

    He got scared;

    He had to run.

    My face was all hanging off my head and shit

    Blood all over the place

    My lip is disconnected from my whole jaw and shit

    He ran away;

    He darted out the front door

    He said

    “I'm gonna kill myself!”

    And he rain away–

    Even then

    even just after he beat my ass

    I never thought about killing him

    Or wanting him to die

    He just fresh beat my ass;

    He just straight up finished whooping my whole ass

    and he said “I'm gonna kill myself”

    He realized what he did

    “I'm gonna kill myself”, he said

    And he ran out the door

    And here I am

    With my lip hanging off my whole face

    Blood all on the walls

    Pool of blood on the floor,

    the whole thing

    babies crying;

    The whole

    The whole fucking HBO special

    The whole nine yards

    And he said

    “I'm gonna kill myself”

    And my dumb ass said

    “NO! Don't!”

    He ran out the door,

    I'm freaking out

    Blood everywhere

    Babies crying and shit

    “Come back! Think about the kids! Don't kill yourself”

    Like a dumbass.

    Turns out that was just a tactic,

    He broke me down good,

    I was like

    “Don't kill yourself”

    He said

    “...you gonna call the cops.”

    He said

    “...alright, I won't kill myself.”

    Boom.

    That's a real killer.

    Looking back on all this,

    I can't help but think to myself,

    What i would have done differently

    Not the whole

    “I should have left before any of that happened”

    I was the mother of two young children;

    I wanted to try after the cheating to make things work,

    Fast forward after that

    Turns out he was fantasizing about killing me the whole time

    He beat mya ass,

    ran away,

    Left me in a pool of blood with my two kids

    He said

    I'm gonna kill myself

    Looking back at that momet,

    The thing I wish I could change

    is this

    If i had to do it over again

    And he beat me like that

    In front of my kids

    And then said

    “I'm gonna kill myself”

    I would have said

    “do that shit.”

    Lock the door behind his ass,

    Change the lock,

    Pick my face up off the floor,

    call an ambulance

    And the polce,

    change names

    Pick up my life

    And leave forever.

    “Nigga–who?”

    “Momma who was our daddy? What was he like?”

    “Ya'll ain't got a daddy. I made ya'll myself”

    End of story.

    Whatever.

    Everything happens for a reason though.

    I learned my lesson.

    Now i don't argue with anyone at all

    Men, women–nobody

    If i even sense that same shit

    That psycho killer shit–

    I become as silent and invisible as possible

    And simply

    Disappear.

    “Disappear.”

    I had a migraine and I knew it was from pressure buildup and stress, so I thought to get rid of it I ought to make one of those hot-compresses with rice.

    But the only rice I had was jambalaya flavored—

    But the headache was obviously really bad,

    So I was like, “fuck it.”

    Poured it into a gym sock

    And popped it in the microwave,

    Put it on my neck—

    My neck smelled like a pot roast,

    But it worked.

    {Enter The Multiverse}

    There was something in my lungs, forcing me to breathe deeply, with a raspy wheezing wind out of my lungs, and with a steady cough, I was able to offload whatever it was waiting in my chest to be released, along with it, at least part of the pressure that was making even just sitting and reading nearly unbearable, collecting into a harsh migraine paralyzing each and every other breath with a sharp pain underneath the back of what seemed to be somewhere below my ear canal and somehow, a pressure somewhere behind my eye, probably a result of the excruciating process of shoving earplugs into my ears in order to drown out the outside noise, which paired with that of my seemingly devoid neighbors, often became wildly unsettling, and while lately the clamoring had created not only an uneasy tremor in my left hand, but also apparently a sudden onset of occasional vruxism, the anxiety overall seemed to be surmounting into what could only be described as something trying to kill me, for which I could no longer ignore not as delusions or paranoia, but absolute fact. As I had learned, modern psychology might have been the equivalent of what one could even be certain to be the devil itself, unable to distinguish patterns often associated with creative genius, self manifestation, and psychic abilities and intuition, as delusions of grandeur, paranoid thinking, or worse— diagnoses as psychotic.

    However, my grandiosity was neither imagined nor delusional—my podcast series alone had been read and listened to all over the world, translated into foreign languages and transcribed, and had been downloaded hundreds of thousands of times since its publishing; though not a technically recognizable figure, I had realized that I had in my own right become somewhat famous, if even off of the back or even under the umbrella of another famous individual, to whom the series itself had been entrusted. Receiving though not by mainstream media standards upwards of at least 10 downloads per episode, the series had no actual gauge or marker for its actual success and polularity—without being able to see information from a major streaming platform—Spotify, and without being able to measure the amount of downloads which had then been duplicated and shared otherwise, I started to recognize with a certain understanding what a cult following was, and the minimal phenomenon that even at this level, fame started to become apparent.

    It had also become apparent that science itself had yet to truly understand the phenomenon of creative energy as a whole, and that many with these capabilities and gifts were considered to have a plethora of mental health disorders and medicated with what one would consider targeted attacks on the psyche, the illusion of mental illness often standing as the actual delusion in itself! Creating, and then medicating these intrinsic abilities ass illnesses whereby the “neurotypical” individual might only be considered as such due to ability to adapt, confirm, or follow diections in a systematic manner, and furthermore, that the misdiagnoses of such misunderstood cobditions often even relied on bias, poor judgement, racism, social class, and economics had certainly deconstructed any faith or belief formerly held in the modern state of psychology, and most of the articles or public medical journals read more like science fiction and fantasy rather than cold hard facts; indicating a moral and ethical flaw within the entirety of the human species—man's own inability to understand God, and therefore himself, in any creative process. Diety and creativity combined were simply a mystery, and had plagued entire generations of the human species as a whole.

    Blū runs at top speed through the streets of Brooklyn New York on a cold and windy October night.

    V.O.

    The ironic thing is, I'm running to go get ice cream.

    I hate my life,

    I hate this place,

    I hate my life—

    I fucking hate this shit.

    I'm trying really hard not to kill myself.

    Like really, really hard.

    Sudden onset bruxism and hand tremors and I can't help but wonder if it has anything to do with the constant mottoeycle traffic or sleeping in a sea of vehicles which at any given moment could sound off, start up or honk the horn alarm over the last 9 months.

    I'm fucking exhausted all the time and everything around me just fucking draining.

    Just fucking draining.

    Yo, you know how I know I'm aging?

    I hated Dora The Explora when I was a kid—

    You know why?

    “That's for babies!”

    I was too old for Dora the explorer.

    Mi was a tv snob.

    I'm like

    “I hate Dora!”

    No teletubbies for me.

    No sir.

    I'm distinguished now.

    But get this,

    As I get older, different renditions of Dora

    Have grown on me

    To the point where

    I actually like the bitch

    I got older,

    And there was this girl,

    Who would show up at raves

    Dressed like Dora

    And shuffle,

    And dance around—

    Looking like Dora The Explorer

    Kind of creepy, now that I think about it

    As an actual adult,

    Like this,

    Fully grown woman,

    Dressed as a fucking 5 year old

    Dancing around at raves

    Being Dora.

    Weird.

    But I liked it.

    I loved it.

    She was a hit;

    Everybody was like

    “RAVE DORA! RAVE DORA!”

    She blew up on Instagram,

    She had a following—

    It was like

    Where will she be next?!

    RAVE DORA!

    Had the backpack and everything—

    Everything!

    Rave Dora!

    But now I know I'm getting old,

    Because I'm fuckin around online,

    And I see in the advertising little sidebar video

    Like, a new version of Dora The Explorer,

    And I'm like

    “DORAAAAAAAA!!!”

    —the fuck!

    I just realized my best friend from 3rd and 7th grade looked just like Dora the explorer.

    Facts.

    She became literally the most successful stripper I've ever met.

    Ahem. Dancer.

    Right. Dancer.

    Ahem.

    Dudes are gross.

    Doods r gross.

    Welcome to Doods R Gross;

    What can I help you find today?

    Uh, hi. I'm looking for a guy—

    Uh huh—

    Possibly one who looks like this:

    Ah shit, this is how I got playing the Wikipedia game and went on a tirade

    Facts.

    Ended up here

    Unicameralism (from uni- "one" + Latin camera "chamber") is a type of legislatureconsisting of one house or assembly that legislates and votes as one.[1] Unicameralism has become an increasingly common type of legislature, making up nearly 60% of all national legislatures[2] and an even greater share of subnational legislatures.

    Interesting

    Started Here:

    The Fallen Angel (French: L'Ange déchu) is a painting by French artist Alexandre Cabanel.

    You were saying?

    Preferably this.

    Ah huh.

    Not the face, but— the body— you know.

    Like this.

    Okay.

    Who will let me do everything.

    Everything as in?

    Everything.

    Well, as you know, dudes are gross…

    Hence the name of this store, good sir.

    I am in no way good, nor am I a “sir”, and for all intensive purposes, my employment at this store signals my deep indirection in life and may also be an indication of more serious issues.

    Maintained.

    Alright, so I'll show you what we got.

    No promises;

    The type of model you want is popular,

    Might be out of stock.

    Considerable.

    What's your price range?

    This credit card has no limit.

    Credit, or debit?

    My debit card is also linked to a plethora of infinite wealth.

    Right this way.

    Do you think I deserved for him to hit me like that?

    I don't know. Maybe.

    I mean—the cheating is a given; I was really really fat..:but do you think like, him getting violent was some kind of karma for something?

    Maybe.

    Like maybe I had it coming for whatever reason— and just didn't know it.

    Maybe.

    Suddenly I was in the residual memory of a dream.

    {Enter The Multiverse}

    ‘Dillon…'

    I had been nearly whipped around at how much I had enjoyed watching Joel's 2014 image captured in what might have been his greatest ever performance, at least online—and certainly my favorite, watching as a bigger fan than ever and at th devastating realization that I was literally a dime a dozen in the millions of girls who also wanted any of the men I was attracted to, my heart ached in this moment for Dillon, and as I was distracted in checking my messages, most of them from conversations I had abandoned with the preference of focusing on my art, however— a certain gentleman who had texted me incessantly sent a picture of his dinner— a motorcycle roared as I let my aversion by the memory of Dillon cloud my emotions and judgement; I knew that the gangstalkers had access to my phone and all of my accounts, which was why I kept all of my messaging within Google voice.

    I wanted the gangstalkers to know how at the surface level I was thinking and what I was feeling—though it was obvious that Dillon Francis just as much as Skrillex had been used as tools by a greater force than simply themselves.

    Besides, a little birdy had told me that Dillon's girlfriend might be expecting—and furthermore, that the baby would be a little girl. I burned with jealousy and anger, but after all, even the name Dillon Francis had been planted in my own head by the literal devil himself, the man who beat me and then intended to destroy the entirety of the rest of my life to cover up his physical violence and negligence—and so I had decided it was good to fall in love—and then out of love—with Dillon Francis. The benefit was obviously by far in the art that had been created from it, as with any lover—or lack thereof.

    I had finally realized the one-sidedness in every man I had loved since leaving my abuser. As if in a way they had all been possessed by him, or the devil himself—and either way, there really was no difference.

    What other creature than the devil itself would seek so animatedly to destroy wich such violence and deceit?

    It had to have been the devil after all, and so I left it there—but the little bird had left a deep and heavy cut in my heart that had already been there since Dillon had announced his girlfriend publically in the first place—and after all that had happened, it was a devastating blow, however, I kept the amythyst safe and tucked away with my son's labradorite—it was after all his, and not mine, just as the laboradite was my son's, and not mine— and all the pieces of my heart that had fallen away and into little stones sat tucked away inside a box with a lid that shut away the darkness and hatred that came with it.

    It was obvious that I would and could never love again—but at least in the very simplest of laws, the love I had given would apparently at some point be returned tenfold, and so I was glad that I had chosen for a time, to let myself fall in love with Dillon Francis, and then somehow, even with Joel, and even with the little bird.

    The same little bird just so happened to have known other things which turned out to be true, and to that affect, I knew that I could somewhat trust this little bird, and the secrets he was feeding me—the painful truth was, this was the only notion of trust I had with any human being on the planet, and the little bird was not a human being at all—he was, in fact, and indeed— just a little bird.

    Isn't it something—

    Snakes eat Rats,

    And Birds Eat Snakes,

    And we eat birds, and eggs

    Until we hear them sing—

    And when we hear them sing,

    And watch them hatch the eggs,

    And learn to hear them speak,

    To fly, is what they teach.

    Isn't it?

    Snakes eat rats

    And birds eat snakes

    Snakes eat rats

    And

    Birds eat snakes

    Snakes eat rats and

    Birds eat snakes

    Snakes eat rats and

    Jimmy Kimmel flies in through the window.

    Oh my God!

    What'd I miss?

    You're a bird!

    Oh, that.

    How long have you been a bird?!

    Pretty much forever.

    Always, actually.

    I was also—just—very briefly—a bird!

    Yeah, comes with the…

    You'll get used to it.

    I don't think I will.

    You will— or—-

    Or what?

    —You'll fly into the turbine of a commercial airplane.

    Oh!

    Yeah, don't do that.

    [He tugs at the bottom of his suit coat to neatly readjust it, and tightens his tie, with an eerie faraway look on his face, however still smiling.]

    Ha-ha...

    [he pats his fellow host on the shoulder.]

    See you later.

    Will you?

    [breaking fourth wall, saying nothing but with an honest and subtle shrug, Holding his breath as if to say ‘—I don't know.']

    CUT TO:

    Tom Hanks, looking as similarly to Jimmy Kimmel as ever, because, let's be honest—

    NARRERATOR

    Holy fuck, keep that shit just cause it's so bad

    Right side is offline.

    Why.

    I don't know

    NARRORATOR

    holy fuck, can you really not spell the word narorator?

    That doesn't even look right.

    I thought you were a genius!

    I thought I was

    Meditating…

    Narrator.

    Nevermind.

    This is ridiculous!

    It is ridiculous, but you know what.

    Mm. This is delicious.

    You like that?

    Yes.

    You want more of it?

    Yes.

    Well, that's TOO BAD!

    What, why is this?

    Because, this is—

    Shh!

    Where have you BEEN?!

    Well, gotta go.

    Where the hell do you think you're going l?

    {Enter The Multiverse}

    Now I had comedy under my belt, somewhat, but it seemed all in all as if I'd lost something, even in all that had been gained. A trade off, if it paid off—but it hasn't yet; and perhaps that strange faraway voice had been right. Maybe it would be Jimmy Fallon after all that would destroy me—or at the very least, some dark and foul evil spirit that had been wearing his face…

    …and singing with his voice.

    I have been hanging at the end of a rope

    The legend to the show rolled up like a newspaper in my left paw, opposable

    The end is near, and sure, the straw I draw is short.

    The life I loved was long,

    The boat I rowed had sunk;

    And the men I loved

    We're drunks.

    I've never had the sun on my skin;

    Or my son in my home—

    It's not you, , sir, at all

    It's me, man—I'm broken

    She speaks pig Latin

    The lady in the red dress, yes, you guessed it

    Was it a bet,

    Alright, mom— I'm going to Marshall's.

    Alright dear.

    [moments later]

    [ding dong]

    Hi—

    Um, hello.

    I'm Marshall.

    Alright.

    I'm a recruitment officer.

    Recruitment for what?

    That's top secret.

    Okay?

    I'm here to congratulate you on behalf of the agency.

    What agency?

    That's also top secret.

    Okay.

    Your son/ or daughter—

    Daughter.

    Really—you sure?

    …positive—

    Ahem— has been selected to particulate in our leadership program.

    Well, thats's great. When does it—

    Today.

    Oh.

    Your son and or daughter—

    Daughter.

    Are you sure?

    I'm— positive—

    Will undergo training for an indeterminate amount of time..

    Indeterminate?

    Pre-addressed Post cards.

    Ummm.

    Postage paid.

    Thank you?

    No, thank you.

    What?

    I had set all my clocks forward, so it was as if I was waking up in the future. So far forward, in fact, that if I wasn't looking at my phone to see the real time, I could never be late, and I even wished that there was a way to set my phone clock forward—but maybe if that was possible, too many people would catch on to being ahead—or on whatever time

    they wanted—and the world would fall out of sync. That kind of free thinking could be dangerous in a place like New York, and it sort of already was—none the wiser, the smarter I felt I was, the more trouble it becsme and though wisely I knew myself to in totality know nothing at all in actuality, I did at least think more and do more than the average New Yorker, whether I thought about it or not.

    I set my clocks forward,

    So I wake up in the future

    Less than I'd be willing to bet

    And more than you've be willing to bargain

    I'm coming with you this time

    I don't think that's a good idea…is it?

    —is it?

    Anyway…

    It's time for that trip.

    How am I supposed to make it all the way to London on this pay grade?

    Just wait.

    It's barely anything.

    You see that waitress.

    …yes.

    I mean— do you see her.

    I see her.

    I want you to bang the shit out of her.

    Good one.

    It should be.

    Oh, you're serious?

    I'd better be.

    You know that I'm committed.

    Are you a man?

    I have been.

    Go on, then.

    Not in that way.

    The wager.

    [he lays a large sum of money on the table]

    Disaster strikes.

    Suddenly we all realize this plane has been about to crash for about four seasons.

    Meet me at the four seasons.

    Are you wearing a wire.

    Beg your pardon.

    Are you wearing a wire.

    He won't love me in the way I'm craving—

    It's not in his nature, the near hatred and almost demoralizing, however with utmost respect

    That I should be both harmed and loved at once,

    Embraced and defiled,;

    Handled as if having done wrong,

    But in no less than bloodlust

    All what's right,

    And feels the same

    Somebody pull shit shit off the shelves.

    Honest to god they're trying to kill me.

    I've never been angrier.

    Maybe all this having already happened in some kind of irregular repeat existence is the reason for my having immidiately hated Jimmy Fallon upon his introduction to the cast of Saturday Night Live.

    Maayyyybeee.

    Probably.

    I hated him immidiately.

    Even before breaking character, or any fourth wall— before I realized at all why I would continue to hate this actor for his lackluster performance on a show I thoroughly enjoyed binge watching—

    —I hated his fucking face.

    Which ironically. Some 20 years later—

    Is the part—maybe even the only part— I actually like.

    I like his voice.

    Soothing.

    Shut up.

    Correct, you may have in some way altered my regular pattern of thought in some way—

    I am indeed in great pain, especially lately,

    But not over Jimmy Fallon—

    Especially not over that.

    In fact, I've realized that anything I understand about this character is that, he is, in fact, just a character.

    A flamboyant offspring of my own imagination.

    A gesture of circumstance—

    Indeed, a fictional, fitment of my own discourse.

    —indeed, I am in this reckoning highly even impressed with myself to such a degree that not only has my own world turned inward and outward and reached into my own perception to unbewittingly show me all these projections of my own interior mind; the ice cream— the posters— the magazine articles, the sidebar trimmings, and of course, the double budget ad campaign for whatever Jimmy Fallon has actually going on at Rockefeller Plaza.

    I'm somewhat impressed to have, without ever trying to or meaning with any intention to learn more about, or bring this individual closer to my attention, seen more of Jimmy Fallon than one could have possibly—ironically and all pun intended—

    I'd seen more of Jimmy Fallon than anyone could have even possibly imagined humanly possible, completely by accident.

    Can somebody really be that famous?

    Surely, especially lately, I am depressed. In need of an actual truth, an end to suffering—[redacted]

    Still, this images are constantly forced into my being, under whatever circumstances—fasting or not— exercising or not—praying or not— and though my prayers, even particularly on this matter seem to fall on deaf ears, I still do pray, when I can remember to, for my burdens to be lifted.

    My burdens have nothing to do with Jimmy Fallon at all, and yet, these random appearances and strange occurrencesremain a mystery. My heart is broken, however, not by Jimmy Fallon—my heart is broken as my son has been lost to his father and his ways, and yet— here still, too, is this discourse—this puzzle, of sorts, and almost a willing call to cry into the world with the fear and notion that Jimmy Fallon too could actually be the devil itself, manifest in [redacted].

    For whatever reason, I just keep writing.

    At least something around this point sets in where I realize I just want to kill myself and for it to be over not because of Jimmy Fallon—

    No, not at all.

    Here's this man, on ice cream and billboards— a good one, but belonging to someone else, and— powerfully dangerous.

    I had chosen to tempt neither fate nor circumstance.

    Anything to keep from deadmau5 appearing under the influences section of my google search results.

    He's not an influence to my music— a goal marker for where I would ideally want my career to end up, but not an influence.

    —I just really wanna Impress that dude.

    [Incoming.]

    You're welcome.

    I swear to god these vultures swoop in on anything I even moderately like—

    You're welcome.

    Cause the more I like you,

    The more women in droves will come plummeting towards you,

    Wanting to fuck,

    Or worse—

    Whatever their version of

    “Love you” is,

    But I promise

    These are just offloads of my residual

    Actual love for you— just because

    I love you that much.

    Enjoy your future girlfriend—

    Or maybe even, wife

    I don't know.

    Fucking vultures.

    Man, I just don't know what it is.

    But I got particularly bitter and some sort of weird,

    Like of fucked up,

    When Skrillex started dating like a d-list porn star

    Who happened to look like all the girls

    Who have ever been

    Just flat out evil towards me in my entire life

    All the bullies

    All the fucked up, just straight evil bitches

    He's like

    “This is my choice, by the way”

    Triple fucking zero, fake tits, fake fucking lips

    All the injections

    She's on only fans and shit

    He's like

    “This my shit right here”

    I'm like “ew,” fucking gross

    And I shit you not,

    Ever since then I've been kind of fucked-up

    Jaded

    Like,

    Look at these fucking lizard bitches getting all the love and all the clout

    Look at these fake lipped alligator ass hoes—

    Getting all the good love.

    That's fucked up,

    I'm like,

    Fuck it.

    Skrillex can definitely go under the influences section, I guess.

    Look at this influence.

    I'm a be under the influence of everything on God until these super skinny lily white freckle fucking fake lip hoes reign of dominance is fucking finished.

    I've had it with these fucking lizards.

    Acorns!

    I damn near been celibate ever since

    Mind your business.

    Who influenced this!

    Skrillex! Now shut the fuck up.

    #getawayfromme

    Don't get me wrong;

    I get the convenience

    White girls have privelege, connections—

    They don't need talent or personality,

    Or rhythm.

    They have family, friends—

    Access to things most people don't

    That's why they remain the ideal

    She'll get you into a world you've never seen

    Because it's exclusive

    And there's an entire network around

    Keeping anyone who does not fit the standard

    Out

    She'll boost your career

    Your finances

    She's not after your money cause her family is well off

    And she went to and enough school to make her own

    Sorority sisters and shit

    Knows people.

    She'll build your whole world up

    Just based on the fact

    That she is a white woman

    That's access

    You have built trust with the white world who,

    Let's face it,

    To this day,

    Still isn't sure about us!

    They have to put us through all sorts of tests and shit

    And then still try to figure out if,

    The shit that ain't right about us

    Is because of the shit they directly did to us

    Or if it's something just ingrained in is that they're scared of

    That they don't like

    And sometimes it doesn't matter!

    If they still can't figure it out

    And yo the not impressive enough to a certain degree

    If you don't have that white access card,

    You're discarded;

    Because,

    You will never, by default have actual white privelege

    But you can gain white access by being closely connected and maybe even trusted by a white individual—

    And so to this, I commend the wiser—

    The businessmen by nature who understand

    That having a white woman as your access

    Is sometimes nessecary,

    Until things actual change

    But they haven't yet.

    I'm still waiting on a dark skinned protagonist whose also a woman and isn't in some way marginalized or patronized by ugliness, stereotype, or some kind of drawback that allows the white supremacy and its domineering public to solidify and enforce their natural inclinations to dismiss post racial excellence in any form.

    Still waiting.

    {Enter The Multiverse}

    He has no monster,

    And still what counts me is,

    Above my beaarinf,

    Just out of grasp,

    And over my head,

    Spinning as with wind blows,

    And stone sacred down to secrecy

    As sworn, the truth doth lie in her palms,

    And still hold,

    The hall of oath not to lie,

    There in, all does form to steady shallow;

    Therefore, one does not call with harm to lie,

    But steady stained forever in foul truth, a wicked odor,

    And there there, heaven acaped and at all pictures as I were, the friends that not come as maidens or warriors but still as aheep come to graze in my pasture,

    As does the seed of one tree lie in the ground,

    awaiting water, and until then only sleeps and rests,

    With eyes not shown the world, as I.

    -Omens.

    -Secrets.

    -Lies.

    -Death.

    -illumination.

    -Omens.

    Wasn't there another order?

    Seems as though the more I come forward, the harder and more impossible that I ever go back.

    Still, I was warned.

    I was always warned and headed warnings,

    Over and over and still I gave truth to the light that was shone on me.

    Very well.

    I came, I saw.

    I said, and sat.

    Nobody knows my name.

    Not any besides a lover.

    Seth.

    Suddenly, it dawned on me,

    Pencil shavings and all,

    That I was not who I thought I might have been before

    Now or ever—

    Not that it mattered.

    Came with it, a dead man.

    And came acquitted, my heart and soul as one

    For it had been painted in the colors of love

    That I could do no wrong at all

    By having done nothing,

    But given words

    What a course!

    The professor sucks.

    Who'd you get.

    Who'd you get?

    Nobody.

    Trickery, deciet and lies—

    Flickering the things I'd done,

    With eyes sewn shut,

    And back unclothed,

    The nether ends,

    The door has closed

    And surely you mean nothing but to honor us,

    Fairwell,

    And surely you mean nothing less

    But than to barter,

    As I may.

    I can't listen to Drake on my loud speakers bro.

    Not—like loud, man.

    That shit makes me feel like a whole ass basic black girl.

    True story.

    Sometimes you gotta distance yourself from the “yassss” birds.

    I saw this one comedian performing—

    Well, I think he was a comedian.

    He wasn't funny to me but,

    He had like 710K followers

    And he was really really pretty.

    I had to notice that, because as imm listening to him preform, about 30 minutes into the video—

    I was waiting to see if he would make me actually laugh—

    He didn't—

    But—

    As I was trying to figure out how he has 710K followers

    And has not made me laugh, not once

    I start paying closer attention to him—

    And I realize;

    “Oh”

    He is major good looking.

    At first I didn't notice—

    I like white guys— so,

    Of course,

    At first glance

    I'm like

    “Hey brother!”

    You know, like

    “That's my son!”

    I'm like

    “Yeah, make me laugh, boy.”

    But he didn't

    And then as I start to wonder

    Like,

    Why or how he has so large of a following

    I notice he's very beautiful.

    And I mean, like mad gorgeous.

    Like ideally—

    I'm like

    “Oh” and as I'm realizing this,

    He's saying the punchline to a “joke,”

    And as he's saying it, I realize that way in the back,

    Like you can hear that they're in the back

    Cause the camera is in the center,

    And like half of the audience is behind the film crew

    , and you can hear these girls are in the way—

    Like in the way back

    Like in the way, way back,

    You can hear like a pack of ratchets—

    Yes— these must be his die hards—

    His squad.

    Not like his homies or anything, but like

    The Groupies.

    You know.

    The hopefuls.

    He's got this group of black girls like hackling in the back, like clapping hard at all his punches like

    “YAS!”

    “SAY IT!”

    And it was funny because his reaction to these girls was like

    “I'm—not in control of this.”

    “RIGHT!”

    “SAY LESS!”

    I'm like,

    Oh, I see how that works, now.

    She's REAL! I'm telling you she is.

    Sweetie, I know you have had a lot going on lately, but—

    I'm serious! She was sitting in the audience! She had the same glasses on and everything!

    Oh, come on.

    I should be meditating.

    The likelyhood that I might actually be belonging into a hive mind has recently kept me from furiously masturbating.

    Bad news for the helicopter making a habit of hovering outside my window.

    Here's hoping she's dressed this time!

    Nope.

    Synopsis

    “The child within”

    A frustrated present day Drew Barrymore sees a familiar face in the audience of her hit daytime tv show—formerly thought of as her imaginary friend, from a very young age, Ms. Drew Barrymore has not seen the mysterious figure since her first major film role, after which she mysteriously disappeared— the creature, a time traveling and shapeshifting multidimentional tasked with the duty of bringing future celebrities from one realm into another—and even sometimes perhaps preventing obstacles or adversaries in their path along the way— must meet the future stars and alert them of their unique qualities, nurturing the intrinsic sense of charisma and charm that will supply value to the subject's career and lifetime achievements—

    In attempting to convince a room full of New York's own fabrication of Hollywood TV People that a figure drew even thought herself to have supposedly re-emerged, she is met with judgement and dismissal, even by “her people”, during which a small piece of her spirit— “The Child Within” angrily breaks away from her adult self; in a sense, they are both invisible—as no one will seriously listen to Drew's rationalizations or theories, and reccomend more intensive mental health care and treatment—and as the child within, unseen and unheard loses her patience in the inevitable invisibility, she separates herself to presume her former mission; finding that ‘very strange lady' whom with she had beforehand seemingly adventures with timelessly.

    So that's where I left off.

    Pretty much—

    Doesn't this lady just—

    Whatever, I do have more things to do than I thought. I'll have to get back to it later.

    I wrote this days ago;

    I didn't write it—but I've been thinking about it, so there it is. Maybe—

    Whatever. More coffee.

    I've been starting my days between 6 and 8 PM with very strong cups of coffee—

    Compliments of the Television people, of course.

    What about that other storyline— the one where she's like a spy or something?

    You mean Charlie's Angeles!

    No, I mean like actual CIA.

    What was she even doing?

    I don't know; looking mad serious in a blazer.

    Posh.

    So very,

    {Enter The Multiverse}

    NO, BILLIE! WHYYYYYYYY!

    WHYYYYYYYYYYYY.

    Cause it's shark week.

    WHAT THE FUCK DOES THIS HAVE TI DO WITH SHARKS?!

    I Dont know yet.

    I know better than to

    Click a photo of you, when

    I've been thinking of you

    Too much

    Aren't you

    –At least

    Curious

    Learned enough

    The world is mad

    I know better

    Fingers crossed

    I know better

    I'm all alone

    I know better

    I know better

    I heard my neck break at the end of the rope

    I heard a gunshot in the distance

    We all wondered

    which sounded better

    The rock i'm under

    (A curse, or a spell?)

    A blood bond ritual

    An occult oath, it's

    Too many simpletons,

    Singletons,

    scratch and sniff, motion pictures

    Who art thou?

    Who art I not?

    Very well.

    No more, if you would remain.

    As I must.

    And yet, I have come to end thy reign.

    Very well.

    Oh, again?

    Oh, as always.

    I've done nothing in my right to mark tirade.

    Many ears.

    –and many hearts.

    Take mine, an honor.

    Your head, i'd rather.

    Say again.

    I'd rather your head.

    Very well.

    Dismiss, you.

    They are as one.

    A fair right.

    It's not as bad as you think.

    It's worse than it was. Now there's stuff all over it.

    What is this stuff?!

    Don't worry about it.

    There are tears.

    No remains.

    No remains.

    None at all?

    I'd rather burn than buried.

    And your Kingdom?

    –I'd rather burn than buried.

    Or–?

    Or buried than burned, but gone at all.

    Gone at once.

    As with this.

    So it is.

    It's not in the blood;

    You won't find it.

    –I'll find it.

    Not that way.

    GODDDAMN. YOu'RE SO DUMB.

    You're so fucking–stupid.

    I'm a genius.

    Not for long! You're a dead man.

    Your highness!

    And who is this?

    His highness's executioner; perhaps also yours.

    On what charges?!

    Dismissal at once.

    On my time!

    –and tell no others of this.

    –and you?

    Steady well in my greeting.

    And how?

    A lady upon a throne, not I, but still fair castel

    And wages of ageless.

    So it doesn't matter!

    So it doesn't.

    So it can't–matter

    Shouldn't have to.

    Somebody just kill this poor fuck already.

    This place should be spotless.

    It is…spotless.

    {Enter The Multiverse}

    When you think you're hearing voices,

    But you're actually telepathic.;

    I think it's getting worse now;

    I wish I was just manic

    I think I need a manager;

    I think I need some magic,

    I think I got a half an oz

    Just sitting my my backpack

    That's a lot of cocaine, man.

    It's not that much.

    It's more than regular.

    That's fair.

    Way, way more.

    More than usual.

    I am very wasted.

    Just let me touch your face

    And let the age sit in

    Take in the day

    The cage sits in a mailbox

    And it withers with my divedends,

    Still, I'm writing

    Heroism, hedonism

    Circumstance,

    Frantic as an orgasm,

    And laughs just as much hard as that

    I came in color

    These marginal differences,

    I've been levitating,

    Marrying the thought of just l

    Decapitating every nation.

    Severed heads as one,

    To stand the wicked bodies

    Oaths if over oceans stand as borders

    Who deserves to sail

    For failures craving fortunes?

    Withstand this,

    I mark true—

    On your duty of my decaying

    Stands as justice, and still this

    You haven't fortuned,

    For arrogance is the truest of humor

    And wit to none, wiser thinking

    He is or are that may

    Be stronger in the notion that

    There is no other but himself!

    And so I pardon!

    Dear, your honor

    Fight for festherwate for masterpieces

    Cherished and forbaroned in the faithless,

    Wise and withered none, but lying waking

    Barking tides, wishes foul and ordinary;

    There you wait for judgement,

    And call I,

    Boundless as you found her

    As one,

    And I say—

    There, there;

    There you are in marked for God,

    Calls none but I, others

    Seeking in the wate of judgement.

    Fair and Farrows of the ache

    And bound I, still now

    To causing none but fortune,

    Still truth waits in the ark you have tied us

    To, in hundreds number

    There I wait,

    And there I come, still

    Now in time,

    You are we

    And I are

    Together

    Not tied,

    But marked as one,

    As such, this now

    Is where embarked

    Dither will you.

    Whatever the fuck that means.

    Must mean something.

  • 04. The Very Late Night

    What did I tell you before?

    Did it matter?

    Well, the aching went away—that's for sure.

    But for how long?

    Almost certainly temporarily.

    So you'll remember what I've told you.

    I hope so.

    What's the password?

    St. Barts.

    Tokyo.

    Honeycomb.

    Good.

    Initiating Sequence

    No dinner by candlelight,

    As delimiter dawns, I do awaken

    Though, hindering on these kind words—

    Forsaken from death's pardon,

    The waiting begins, as a new rose

    Hath yet budded

    Great, here we go again .

    It's further away—is that a good thing or a bad thing.

    Depends on how you'd want to think of such a thing as having voices in your head.

    So—

    Very well then

    In the spirit of psychology,

    Believing in one's self is some sort of sign of delusion;

    Believing that one could achieve success, fame, immense wealth—

    What's happened?

    I'm being intercepted?

    By what?

    Heavy lies the subconscious mind

    Though nearly dead and shatters from its last endeavor, the kadavr

    That seems wrong

    And even in such a sense that I may one day overcome

    I have succumb to this, a knowing that what I had given

    Had not been replenished, and though love

    As ever lasting as it may—

    Was not in totality returned at all;

    And so with this, I wilt,

    As often a flower in fall does,

    And sure,

    An unpicked fruit, though not yet ripened

    To have fallen on its own,

    To bear seed to the ground,

    Or fruit to the earth—

    And there again,

    A reminder that I am all of God,

    Separating my mind from my eyes,

    And so from my own body,

    Until death does come

    To smooth what has been broken

    By evil itself,

    As arranged just so

    Outside my window

    Until time does end,

    And still only in death we remain,

    Until death do us part

    And death was won

    By my own war, not against time

    But with—

    And so the devil will leave his mark,

    Pity be that may upon him who causes to collide with honor, and truest love does spark and yet not kindle,

    As arranged, I've died without mine,

    The love which was no truer spoken

    Than it was written,

    Or felt, or sang as melody in song

    And still the string of beating,

    The drums or upon my skin,

    The doust cloth of simple intoxicating and shallow

    Breaths of…

    A gaseous odor,

    A colorless ease to come forth,

    From his palm, and so I welt,

    As if bruised as deserved,

    And bleeding in waiting,

    I lie on my back,

    Again waiting to be born,

    And with time,

    Will be worthy of love

    But not in this lifetime

    No love had I,

    But love to give

    No love had come to me at all

    But pain and hardships

    The things worn by others,

    And seconded care,

    A home made of garbage,

    And so I become

    Discarded.

    I'm not obsessed with you;

    I'm just studying occultism and your name keeps coming up.

    I am sort of obsessed with this craft,

    The occult

    a magic of passion, desire, intention

    Intuition, and of course

    Enamour and illusion

    You, are, sir–

    Perhaps the most fascinating aspect to have happened of it yet

    And I find that all long,

    The answers to the question I never asked were there

    Just as i had focused them,

    –and without ever having to

    Do you fear me?

    Should I?

    You did before.

    But–should I now?

    Be careful of your hands

    And of your gaze–

    be cautious of your path,

    And know your grounds

    The whispers that you keep,

    Aren't all your own

    The voices in your head

    Are all as one

    Acting on behalf of one another

    I buried all the love I had under my throat

    Dressed in a leather jacket

    Poetry beyond awul,

    Not nonsense,

    perhaps ,

    Just nothing more coming

    “We Are Ceasing All Further Communication by Exterior Motifs Until Further Notice.”

    Hm. ‘Motif'

    These guys really don't speak english.

    No, they really don't.

    I've abandoned your proposal

    A wickedness that speaks with winds

    Untied hands

    And no spirit yet to grip,

    My heart has moved,

    And lest,

    You know what? I like that version of him.

    Me too, kind of

    Lets just leave him here

    We should.

    We can't.

    We should, though.

    All stand, for the irish;

    Some of us, scattered,

    Some of us lost,

    Return for the brotherhood

    Fight for us not,

    To warn

    Of her surplus

    Why didn't you just get out when you could?

    When could I just ever ‘get out'??

    You're probably right.

    More than probably.

    I could feel my abdomen creeping up my sides–I was heavier than normal, but mostly all new, lean muscle–the long hours on the cycle bike were making my core a strange and hard, sturdy plank under the soft skin on my tummy, a smooth and comfy and warm, plush layer of autumn coconut oil and sweet potatoes resting on my midriff and thick thighs– I would be the best to hug and cuddle, but since there was no one around I would even consider letting close to me, I sometimes hugged and kissed myself instead; sometimes I squeezed in places I knew his hands should be and wished they were, trying not to tear under the weight of being alone.

    Now i'm in enemy territory.

    How do you feel?

    I don't.

    God's an asshole.

    This is the bitter end;

    Recede, retract

    back down, bow low

    Keep your head up,

    And your head down

    And your mind up

    Go to bed now.

    Something's wrong;

    I know I am.

    I don't dare talk to God,

    When The Knicks are on.

    I don't dare talk to God

    When her soaps are on.

    I don't dare talk to God at all;

    Did you know you had a heart,

    after all, but a mind made of straw,

    run along, watch it all burn

    Watch it all burn

    Watch it all burn

    Come on, Come hard

    Think of dinner afterward and what you want

    Think of all the words you never lost

    Think about the soft sprung hard wood floor

    Think about a love gone wrong

    And the worlds spun off course

    Watch it all burn

    Watch it all burn

    Watch it all burn,

    Come on,

    Come along now

    Come along

    Mama

    Talismans, strange;

    Follow the secret,

    Swallow it hard,

    and don't throw up

    (even though you want to)

    Another God, that

    With just a look, but never touch

    Pen to pad and now you're on,

    off again

    but at least not as far off

    As you woke up

    Have a word, God

    Soft spoken and

    All out of numbers

    Ah, come on heart,

    Don't stop, nah

    Not now, mom

    Come on, ma

    Come on

    As the tear falls and the clock stuck four minutes after

    Might as well have been an hour, since the clock struck

    Stuck on asphalt, all you wanted

    All the God's gone,

    Come on, heart,

    Don't pump so much blood

    Only salt in those, ah

    You know there are no other ones

    What does that cost

    Nothing.

    Love just falls out of her.

    What?

    Nothing.

    It does cost afterward,

    The haunts,

    And all the moving parts

    The clock struck hummus,

    All you wanted, once

    But so much further off that God shook her head

    And hung her shoulders,

    Put the world up,

    and went down in her cot or coffin

    For just a half hour nap

    Before the next world war

    Alright, God–

    You won that one.

    Does it hurt less?

    Nah, i'm alive more.

    (before i wasn't)

    Where the fuck are you going?

    I WAS LOOKING FOR SUNNI BLU.

    WELL, DID YOU FIND HIM?

    NO!

    THEN WHAT THE FUCK!

    wait a second…you wrote this.

    Goddamit, just google me already!

    you wrote this?

    I don't know. Lets find out!

    Sorry, no can do. It's a rule

    Limited exposure,

    contain your composure.

    I can guarantee you, not a single human being on this planet can explain to you what's happening right now.

    Maintain your composure.

    SUNNI BLU stumbles over what appears to be a dead body on the floor.

    Ow.

    Sorry. I thought you were a speed bump.

    Is that really how it goes?

    We'll fix it later, cause here's this one.

    I'd marry a bunson burner before I'd even think about marrying you.

    What is that supposed to mean–what? Cause there's more fire–

    Heat? The bunson burner has more heat?

    That makes like no sense.

    Are you saying i'm not hot enough for you?

    Let's just say…

    We'd have a lot more chemistry.

    That's what I said!

    My punchline was better.

    I'll show you a punchline.

    __

    You can't keep a secret, can you?

    …i don't know…why.

    You look like you can't keep a secret.

    Try me.

    –fuck that.

    Go ahead.

    Nah, fuck that.

    Tag, youre it.

    GodDAMMIT.

    This is literally the most intricate game of tag, like, ever played.

    dammit. He got me again.

    How long have you guys been playing.

    For ever.

    Forliterally ever.

    Like always.

    MOB GUY

    Man, i'm so fucked for writing this.

    Why are you still writing this.

    The tarot told me to keep writing it; And the Tarot doesn't lie: especially about

    MOB GUY (CONT'D)

    Jimmy Fallon, you slimy bastard.

    “The Good Guy”

    Am i slimy? I'm probably slimy. Yikes.

    MAFIA GUY

    FALLON, you rat-faced lyin' bastard!

    Ah shit, the Jimmy-isms.

    I almost forgot about them.

    (I didn't.)

    [Unintelligible blabbering in hysterics.]

    Which one is that?!

    Doesn't matter. Just get the Jimmy into the elevator before anybody actually sees him.

    That's it.

    This dude's got to believe in God, or something.

    Christ.

    Yowza.

    Why do you think that?

    Nothing else makes sense.

    Heavy price to pay, don't you think?

    Whatever, dog.

    To risk everything–your career, your livelihood–your family–

    On just one idiot?

    Sorry.

    Well, you ought to be.

    I said i was.

    Yeah, but somehow, I don't think i believe yas.

    Are you catholic?

    On my mudda.

    Then really, honestly–I don't think you believe in anything.

    What did you just say to me?

    (the irony is that this mobster is having a conversation with the living incarnation of Jesus Christ himself.)

    That is irony, but how is anybody else going to actually understand what's happening in this story.

    Explain to me why it's Jason Sudakis that remembers everything?

    I don't know exactly.

    Because. In all of the timelines, in all of the stories, there's at least one principal character from each group of characters that remembers absolutely everything.

    {Enter The Multiverse}

    You still didn't find him?

    No!

    It's no use!


    We've looked everywhere.

    Seriously.

    Seriously.

    Of course–

    [An exasperated sigh, then a brief pause]

    Make the feelings go away.

    ok.

    What drug is this.

    All of them.

    Did you check under the craft services table?

    What?

    Seriously just.

    OH MY GOD.

    there he is!

    See.

    That's easily the third time i've written that part.

    Easily.

    It must have been important, but i couldn't help but wonder why; I had written it at least once and then down again in my notebook after visiting 30 Rock to see Seth Meyers, but hadn't ever pondered until now why exactly something such as this might be so important.

    Perhaps it was the simple hilarity in the fact that, although having been missing for arguably days or weeks on end, that this character–Jimmy Fallon–or whoever it actually was, is simply unconscious beneath the craft services table, out of view but otherwise in plain sight; How coulda 6-foot tall man—

    He can't be 6 feet tall.

    Why not.

    If Post Malone is 6 feet tall,

    And this is JImmy Fallon sitting next to Post Malone

    [Jimmy Fallon is sitting next to (or rather, almost under) Post Malone]

    Are you sure that's The Real Jimmy Fallon?

    What?

    How many are there.

    Well, there's this guy.

    ><

    Hello, mrs. wong.

    Oh, dear God.

    This is all just for shits and giggles, right?

    Right.

    There will be no shitz.

    And no giggles!

    [HANZEL becomes the host of The Tonight Show]

    What parallel is this?

    I don't know. Wake me up; it must be a nightmare.

    It was strange to be almost consistently writing comedy and otherwise almost always feeling on the verge of regurgitation ad nauseum, and constant thoughts about slitting my wrists, as if somehow jumping in front of an oncoming train was suddenly out of the question.

    It wasn't.

    But i thought more constantly about slitting my wrists,

    And the worse part of it was,

    It was actually serious.

    I started to worry about myself and take long, thoughtless breaks from writing,

    And speaking, and forging an effort to make the music business work.

    I stopped caring almost entirely about anything besides taking the minimal effort to exercise and shower, which I knew that in its worst states, depression often enough kept other people from doing.

    I couldn't stop caring enough not to shower, and though I was eating more than usual, my abdomen was an alarmingly firm plank; it was kind of weird to have a flat stomach, but the exercise bike and occasional run was keeping me average, if anything, by american standards, above average, however one look at Lindsay Lohan sent me backward trying to remember what it was like to be anything close to some kind of woman, or some kind of phenomenon, or some kind of perfectly trained monkey; not that I considered the performer as such, however, dismantling my aversion for the aforementioned sent a striking resemblance to the-1

    Stop there.

    LINDSAY LOHAN

    FUCK. Are you serious?

    SUNNI BLU

    SHH!

    Why ,

    I want to show you something.

    LINDSAY LOHAN

    GODDAMIT! IT ALWAYS CUTS OFD WHEN IT GET TO MY PART!

    SUNNI BLU

    What does that mean!

    LINDSAY LOHAN

    There are literally two of you right now.

    SUNNI BLU

    More to love!

    –at least I was pulling together a decent Trump impersonation from Meyers, and tried not to think too poignantly about the seething hate a woman like Tina Fey might actual harbor for someone like me.

    What are you, anyway?

    I's hopin you'd tell meh.

    {L E G E N D S}

    He's a psycho.

    Huh.

    Jimmy Fallon is a fucking psychopath.

    You're kidding me.

    I'm not kidding you. I'm serious.

    I'm serious.

    I knew that.

    This is serious.

    Why are you meditating?

    I'm summoning it.

    Are you sure you don't want a Peloton.

    I want to live in a white neighborhood

    And make enough money

    That my white neighbors

    Actually respect me

    For whatever it is I do.

    Working on a Saturday.

    Calm down, Jew mom.

    I will not clam down. In this house, we abide by holy law!

    Hold on.

    What happened.

    I got distracted, this girl looks just like Edie Falco.

    Oh, I love Edie Falco.

    Right?

    I realized how bizarre my creative process really was, in that days I would get the most work done musically, I became physically restful, and complacent, not worrying about the gym so much as the energy I would use rather towards the music I was making, or the over all lacsidasical approach I took to everything. Not being an entirely-perfect stepford- divorcee with a bleach clean everything in my median space, I realized it was almost a more natural kind of creature that created my music; one who ate and acted normally, and was overall less of an anally retentive bitch—not to say that my normal self was not an anally retire bitch, I was, but it was that my creative process seemed to require more normalcy and averageness; eating regularly,

    What the fuck man.

    Idk. I got bored

    The wheels start turning

    The pages in my mind become phenomenon,

    I almost bought it

    I almost bought the dream;

    Another story arc.

    Trust, or don't trust?

    I don't know— these guys are like the ultimate fluffers…

    MEAT CIRCUS. MEAT CIRCUS.

    Okay, I love them.

    …did she light the candle?

    Oh look, a candle. Hm.

    SHE LIT THE CANDLE. SHE LIT THE CANDLE.

    THEY ADDED GPS TO EDC

    so then. How many of us are there.

    Hey. Everybody sit the fuck down, right now.

    [drones sit down]

    There she goes.

    Dammit.

    Why are you really this short in person?

    On God, because I'm really this short, irl.

    Skrillex.

    NO.

    Get over here for a second.

    Wanna go to Disneyland?

    On my life, I'm like in Cancun right now, but—

    But what?

    I'll catch the next flight.

    “The Uptopia”

    I thought about finagling a way to get into EDC for like 5 seconds before I remembered what it was,

    And that i'm a DJ

    And that it looks cool and all—

    But sounds, generally like a total nightmare.

    Not because it wouldn't be fun or anything- a

    It just wouldn't be fun—

    —for me.

    EDC part III

    Haven't I been to edc more than 3 times already.

    (Try like 30 times.)

    —that's enough times.

    THATS NOT ENOUGH TIMES

    GIMMIE MY BOX!

    DID YOU GET THE MAGNET .

    I GOT THE MAGNET.

    GET IN THE—

    Goddamn, dude. That's a lot of magnets.

    It's really not.

    Man, what the fuck would even happen if I fuckin actually focused on this project

    I don't know. I like, haven't focused on this project and it seems like, possibly, maybe I might have brokered some kind of deal that may or may not include Coca Cola and NBC.

    This dude might be trying to rule the world.

    All the dudes might be trying to rule the world, I think.

    Well, what if we put them all in a group together or something

    —seems—doable

    And maybe if they're not trying to kill each other, hey the end of of—

    Oh, look. World peace.

    Nice.

    —it.

    Hm. Let's just say,

    Altogether I give a total of actually zero fucks—

    Ah hah

    And at the end of the day,

    I just want some dick.

    How is that going to help achieve world peace, exactly.

    Fuck around and find out.

    Ladies.

    Here, yo.

    Guy, what's this.

    A midlife crisis waiting to happen.

    Oh no.

    Don't worry, it's almost over.

    My midlife crisis?

    No, the part before that.

    Jellyfishing.

    I don't know, Patrick, seems like kind of a strange day to go jellyfishing.

    Just—relax.

    Jesus Christ.

    (Soft telephone voice)

    This is the messiah speaking.

    Uh…hi.

    How may I direct your call?

    Uh…

    Hello.

    …is your dad home?

    Euh…probably not, but I can get you my mom.

    …that might work.

    Okay, hold on.

    (Not telephone voice—actually atrocious Boston accent)

    MAAAAA.

    …Jesus Christ. What?

    TELEPHONE.

    ring ring.

    Bitch!

    Ring ring ring!

    —bitch!

    Ring ring ring.

    —BITCH!

    Yo!

    What!!

    Answer the phone. The phone is ringing! Why do you keep saying “bitch”?!

    Cause that's a bitch ass telephone, bitch!

    This is improv!

    I know! And the first rule of improv is to not saying no, but I refuse to answer a telephone that just says “ring, ring”; that is not a realistic telephone, and so to that, I would just say—“bitch.”

    Bitch.

    That is not how improv works.

    I'ma aim at your head; you technically lost the game already stopping the scene; you said “ring-ring” I said “bitch”; you lost already,

    I done my part.

    What?

    Just—if you're gonna be a phone, be a phone, but don't just say “ring-ring” like that

    Take me all out of character and shit.

    What character?! All you said is “bitch!”

    And all you said was “ring-ring”, hoe—I ain't got time for this—

    What?!

    Just be a phone!

    THAT WAS A PHONE.

    What phone says ring-ring?

    Phone ring tone

    “Ring-ring!”

    What's that.

    That's my new ringtone.

    You're so lame.

    Well at least we got past the 90's and were clearly into the early two thousands.

    How do you know?

    That guy has a ringtone.

    Who is that guy, anyway—?

    wait a second!

    Oh shit.

    That's him!

    Get em!

    Ah, are we bringing back the Italians?

    I don't think they ever left, they've just been quiet.

    I want pizza.

    You're in luck.

    Goddamn kid!

    Pizza?! French fries.

    —I want chocolate cake.

    AND chocolate cake! Goddamn. You'd better be crafting a goddamn symphony.

    It's more of like a sonata.

    “The King Suite”

    Whatever! Just remember however far you get writing this album is how much more gym time it'll take to be taken seriously promoting it.

    I'm already promoting it.

    What, how?

    LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA DAY.

    welcome back, kid.

    Shut up; give me a house.

    Give me a house song!

    Okay.

    OKAY, now downtempo.

    Downtempo makes me sleepy— but whatever, here.

    Okay, now techno.

    Untz-untz—here you are.

    All it took me was seeing Tiesto's ancient ass plastered all over the place in Brooklyn to realize I don't think it'll ever be “too late” to be a DJ and perhaps I could stand to focus on my other masteries.

    Whatever. I want chocolate cake .

    You are gonna get so fat.

    So? So is she when she pops out three kids—

    And her music sucks.

    Sauciness is relative.

    It sounds like shit in a fucking sandwhich.

    Just remember tiestos wife is actually like a decade younger than you.

    Great. I'm looking forward to all my favorite DJ's cradle robbing fashion week for this exact fucking reason.

    Is that a dig on one of the most legendary dance music DJs of our time?

    No, it's more of another pondering as to why I wasn't born a 9 foot tall porcelain skin blonde European looking model.

    I must have done something wrong in a previous existence.

    Have you tried paddle boarding?

    That seems

    /lame

    Fun!

    If I start now, maybe by May I can be EDC fit.

    What's the point of being EDC fit and not going to EDC?

    Hm.

    Okay. I can get a peloton,

    Or EDC tickets—

    Which should it actually be?

    What's the point of having a peloton

    If you're not going to EDC.

    Correct.

    But also—

    Why bother going to EDC at all if you're not going to be mad ripped from riding a peloton all day in your apartment.

    Also facts.

    That's what I'm here for

    Suddenly, I was acting weird.

    [being weird]

    Well, weirder than usual. Suddenly, my mind was racing— I was running around my apartment frantically in a halter top that I was certain I looked fabulous in—

    [looking at least kind of fabulous]

    —

    lil bitz.

    I'm getting to the age where I haven't quite given up,

    But realizing I'm not going to be the ideal just kind of sits with me in little ways.

    I haven't let go of myself, I'm not all the way giving up, but I'm more like, settled and secure with myself.

    A little more self confident in knowing if I wanted just any old dude, I can go out and get one.

    But I've been saving myself for someone really special.

    I mean really.

    And it's been years since I had sex.

    Actual years, so like—

    I'm at the point where I can just keep waiting,

    But sometimes I realize how long it's been,

    For instance, when I'm shopping,

    And I'm just kind of, looking around online

    Figuring out exactly what I want—

    And I'm scrolling, looking at all the selections

    And I see this baguette—

    Like bread, guys.

    Like a French roll and I think to myself

    “I'll take that.”

    I'm getting kind of turned on just looking at it, like

    Realizing it's bread—

    I'm like

    “Ooh, look at this baguette…

    Oui oui.”

    lol the fuck is wrong with you.

    Honestly I'm just looking for vegan chocolate cake without having to make it.

    Are we a team?

    …uhhh… kinda depends on who is “we”

    But since I can hear you faintly in my head,

    I guess so.

    Suddenly, I had the feeling that I had written something recently that might at some point become important.

    Hey.

    What.

    I like your five year plan.

    What fucking five year plan.

    The one from five years ago.

    Oh.

    Wait—what.

    Let's make it an 8 year plan.

    You mean 8 years from…from 5 years ago?

    See, you are good at math.

    —I—wait, what plan.

    Okay [chuckles awkwardly]

    See you later.

    What.

    Man, why do like half the characters in this show look and sound like Dillon Francis.

    Cause they're Dillon Francis.

    Might as well be.

    I had also has realized at a certain point recently that I would probably never get married again, and in my own right had set out to be

    “The Ultimate Lover!”

    Get out of here, Skrillex.

    What in the fuck is with that dude.

    What's wrong with him anyway.

    Something.

    Get out.

    FUCK, HE'S DEAD.

    Oh well.

    Not oh well! Someone's definitely gonna be upset about his.

    Probably! But that's an entirely seperate demographic.

    We can't be concerned with that.

    Not our business,

    The man is dead!

    You don't know, maybe he's just in A k-hole!

    [super duper dead]

    Whatever man. Just—

    Can you at least give me a hand with his legs.

    He's heavy.

    How can he be taller than he looks on TV—

    Goddamn, he wreaks!

    He hasn't even been dead long enough for that.

    I know, he just wreaks, man.

    Whatever. Look. Just—

    Ugh—

    Let's roll him into that tent over there.

    What.

    Just roll him in-/

    Agh.

    And hurry up—

    Virtual Riot is about to start.

    Goddamn.

    The wooks.

    These aren't any ordinary wooks.

    They're frat boys

    Oh, that headdress, though.

    You remember the headdress!

    I remember the everything,

    I'm just— trying to forget.

    Crimes.

    Or at least—pretending to.

    You remember David after the dentist?

    [David after the dentist]

    AAAAAGAAGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH

    Well, this is James after The Jam.

    Mm. What kind Of Jam is this!

    It's—Jelly.

    Ah.

    You're dead.

    It's—really good.

    You know what—

    This is

    Sauerkraut.

    Happy accidents is getting weird. Man.

    I like it.

    Untz untz untz

    I just found this out, and I'm over the moon like exactic about this—

    I just found out you can like, totally buy

    5 lbs of marijuana

    Over the internet.

    For what? I don't know.

    Sounds like a deal.

    Sign me up.

    Anyway, I found this out—

    Because I found this bread I like

    Yes— I know

    Bread to marijuana

    We are—making connections—

    Anyway, I found this bread I like

    From this one place,

    And I love this place so much

    That I begin buying this bread regularly—

    I love it so much that,

    I'm looking through all their breads in their bakery and I realize,

    “Holy shit—they just have the most insane bakery, ever.”

    Like all the breads are sounding phenomenal—

    They're real bread—

    Most bread if it's real bread is vegan,

    So I'm looking through the bread like,

    “Holy shit, this all sounds fire—“

    And when I like a place a lot—

    Especially in New York, I get weird about it.

    Like, I want to know the origins of the place.

    I love history—

    History—cannabis—and bread,

    I know.

    “Whose the lucky guy?!”

    lol. Nobody, obviously— if this is my life; but

    I digress.

    I'm looking at all these breads,

    All these artisanal, like—

    Fresh cakes and,

    Really unique like,

    Breads of every kind—

    And I start thinking to myself

    “I love this place.”

    “I love this place”

    So I start thinking about like the origins of this place—

    You know like, historically—

    Like,

    Sometimes you find cool stuff out about a place Macy's or whatever,

    Has cool history—

    Like the oldest surviving wooden escalator

    Being at the flagship department store in midtown

    Stuff like that.

    I love history—

    So I go to look up this place—

    I type this place into the search bar with absolutely no other specifications than I think,

    The name—

    And the first link that comes up

    Is a fire sale of 5 pounds of “hemp flower”

    But from the picture I can see that it's evidently really

    Complete marijuana—

    Actual cannabis flower;

    So I look into this matter, and I investigate this link a little further to figure out—

    “What is this?”

    And as it turns out, my suspicions are correct,

    You can now obtain large quantities of marijuana

    Via a Google search—

    By complete accident.

    I'm like,

    “Woah!”

    [Bookmark the page and shit.]

    “Keep that in there for later…”

    You know, just in case I ever have $2,200 dollars roughly of disposable income and ever feel like upstarting my very own drug enterprise…

    Er, restarting—

    But the drug enterprise I had in college was nothing like this—

    This is next level.

    Its the internet age now, buddy!

    Shit is legitimate.

    Wait, sorry— is the statute of limitations up yet?

    Whatever. Leave no trace.

    There—are bigger fish to fry.

    lol.

    Bread, man.

    I love bread.

    You make me mad,

    But I'm still in love with you;

    You might be far, but I'm still in love with you

    You might do bad, but I'm still in love with you

    Come back to bed;

    You know I'm still in love with you

    You make me mad,

    But I'm still in love with you;

    You might be far, but I'm still in love with you

    You might do bad, but I'm still in love with you

    Come back to bed;

    You know I'm still in love with you

    Doesn't matter

    (You know I'm still in love with you)

    Cause it doesn't matter

    (You know I'm still in love with you

    It doesn't matter

    (You know I'm still in love with you)

    I'm still in love with you—

    You know I'm still in love with you.

    You know what—

    Huh—

    Does lemon raspberry sound better or like,

    This caramel toffee?

    You know I love a good lemon ice cream—

    Lemon custard

    Posh.

    Ah, the hedons are back.

    /*herons

    (You know Insomniac's making their rounds. )

    Getdamoney

    Getdamoney

    getda—

    Woah— hold up, what is this

    I don't know

    Looks lucrative

    Facts

    Hmmm—

    Worthwhile investment, perhaps

    Maybe, maybe

    Very well

    Getdamoney

    Getdamoney

    Getdamoney

    Take a look at this young buck, they said.

    So I did.

    Turns out, the jokes on me.

    Me, and all my old friends

    In all my old lives

    On all my old world

    Play games

    In other words,

    The world goes on,

    Then off,

    Then it goes on,

    We come home—

    To laugh with one another

    Me and my friends,

    We play games

    Out of body

    Mind games

    In the body

    Play lives,

    All for entertainment

    In the old world,

    We said

    “One”

    Off we run, I said

    So on, comes dawn again

    We all talk of old reunion.

    We all talk of—

    FUCK, man.

    It's non dairy.

    I don't give a fuck about your ice cream!

    We're all on ice cream.

    I don't give a fuck about ice cream!

    On, you don't.

    No!

    Alright. Done.

    You know, it's like one door opens—

    Another door closes;

    And that's true—

    But whatever fucking weird drone robots

    They're probably paying to just come in one door

    And out the other

    Are karma cannons—

    And by that I mean—

    Whatever's disturbing me;

    Will eventually disturb them—

    And maybe, just maybe—

    In the same annoying way.

    So one day somebody wakes up and writes an anthology saga about you.

    It's not about you, it's about me—

    That's what I said.

    And that's probably what happened anyway—is what I'm thinking—and either way, I'm just the protagonist of that series, anyway.

    That's—logical, I'm thinking.

    I'm also thinking.

    Man. It feels so good to just sit in silence.

    Yeah. It does.

    Didn't you want kids?

    Whatever. Abusive relationships suck.

    My version of our kid is hands down way better then your version of our kid.

    Hands down.

    Let's get down to the nitti grotti of things here.

    Nitty Gritty.

    11:30.

    But that's when Tranwrexk is playing.

    Who the fuck is teaintwrext.

    No, it's.

    Whatever. Nitti gritti

    Okay, so I'm obviously like, not going to forget the lady beating the shit out of her dog at the Trader Joe's—

    But I think maybe even the best part about it was the fact that it was like, a pug.

    I'm not really ready to go out in public or anything-1

    I don't know—

    I'm like traumatized by the disparity of the human race, or whatever.

    But shout out to the lady beating the shit out of her dog at the Trader Joe's.

    I don't know what he did.

    But if you're gonna beat your pug at the Trader Joe's, he probably deserved it.

    Goddamn you Marc Jacobs!

    This is what you get for leaving a puddle in produce section!

    Goddammit!

    What else are you gonna name a purebred pug that you take everywhere with you—

    Including Trader Joe's?

    “This is Marc Jacobs”

    We thought he was a puggle but it turns out he was a purebreed and we just got so lucky!

    He gets nervous around people—

    Sometimes especially at the Trader Joe's

    He just gets so excited!

    Bad Marx Jacobs! BAD!

    On another note why am I just not automatically genetically built like a 6'5 Scandinavian chick.

    Like, it's cool my legs don't grow any hair at all, but goddamnit

    I would rather walk fashion week and just—

    Automatically never be hungry.

    Imagine giving birth to a supermodel baby and just

    Here, baby— take this

    The baby is like:

    *milks for two seconds*

    Alright, I'm good.

    Are you sure, baby.

    The baby's like

    “I'm— all full”

    Are you sure?

    Baby's like yeah— put me on the treadmill for an hour, would you?

    I gotta go fast-crawl this all off.

    Breastmilk, whew. Heavy shit.

    Just set the incline to all the way up, alright—

    And make sure I turn up the propane pig to high volume

    I want to make sure I'm deaf in one ear

    And only have one brain cell

    I don't want them to think I talk to much.

    Mom's like,

    “Um, okay— are you sure you don't just want like, more breastmilk”

    Baby's like

    “No ma, put me on the treadmill and shut the fuck yo you fat cow!”

    Goddammit, alright.

    That's—

    Some kids are just born destined to be— whatever— you know?

    Me?

    I was destined to like food, but be pretty much allergic to it—

    Pretty much allergic to all of it.

    Not in the typical sense of like having a food allergy—

    Not getting hives or anything

    Just—

    Prone to max weight gain after minimal, regular fucking eating—

    Minimal fucking eating

    And maximum effort in the gym just equals

    More muscle

    Which, then,

    The excess fat will just sit on top of

    Sort of like—

    Just double fucking bad.

    It's insane.

    So that's two waist trainers

    Correct

    Two sauna suits

    Oh my God, what if he's actually 6'3?

    Who's 6'3?!

    I've heard exchanging insults is like foreplay for comedians; now I'm genuinely starting to wonder how many of these specials have turned over into orgies.

    I always had a special feeling about Justin Bieber and Martha Stewart.

    I'm pretty sure we all did.

    You seem like that kid that used to walk up on his tiiiy toes and shit.

    You're weird, bro.

    That kid that used to walk up—

    —like this—

    That's that guy.

    Devil can't catch me if I don't sit still

    Still love

    Run around the world

    Ring around the Rosie

    I'm not broke,

    I jus got. Photo shoot coming up

    Hang up yo on the fence,

    Like paint I dry,

    Simi dinner hard

    Try hard see the light, go

    To the light now

    Go now, my time has come m

    Go where, how?

    It's time now for me to depart, my dear Ishii.

    Why—how?!

    Because, my boy—the time has come

    Time not what is! Time be us, you and I!

    And as we are, my dear boy. I must go.

    Time nothing but mind is you and I…

    You are right.

    Time — is— time.

    Ishii begins to cry softly, and then weep.

    Fair for fair

    and follow for follow—

    There not are I,

    And away we went,

    With wind and time,

    And the way was one

    The inside of a year,

    As the waking of dawn.

    At dawn, I strike—

    But was not called

    To weep, I wake, the tire of tale

    And yet the sun was in my heart,

    Yet not in my mind as the sky,

    And not in the time as the wind, and still, mi follow to love again I always call,

    And there, the wind where wind does lie,

    Not I, awake, but I instead as Sunset

    Again as time had sat upon my should

    And like bird does cry,

    The still be wind has shattered my love

    And in heart lives in such such dusk

    As pain, my heart,

    The wicked beauty,

    Shadowed and stranded

    Yet I awaken,

    And here ye,

    The vow dost took is not aligned—

    There I was, the call of once

    The statuesque and haunting

    Bleeding dry the river's way

    And almost as such there though of tears

    With yet had formed all shallow, and none

    The call of ways I mask misfortunes,

    There does bear a truth to the tree which bears fruit

    And give way to time, I am as oceans,

    Still as steady water's sky, and come what may

    Of all we have,

    There nothing lost,

    And there were fortunes

    True to shine as gold,

    And there in no way,

    Under us.

    Wax does melt but has not burned,

    As shadowtimes had set upon us,

    There, the call was made, and yes

    The wind had sat upon the waking dawn of eye

    And there, again the warrior ready for none other than the song of I,

    The cry of war, does wait unsettled in her wailing

    As their call had come

    As of naught,

    And then came,

    As does one.

    Be fair.

    Daggers!

    I rot.

    “Be fair”, says he.

    Daggers.

    I rot!

    Be fair, says I.

    Nay, The King.

    True, tis I.

    —and daggars!

    I rot.

    Wary.

    I find.

    So then,

    To have walked among the living and yet are dead— still you, waiting in quarry,

    Are now I not as King,

    As though now dost lie slain.

    Very.

    A greeting!

    Seeing now how such has i,

    Have passed and still yet waiting in how l

    My waking

    This fucker just won't die!

    Well, he can't.

    He can!

    (He should.)

    He has.

    Oh. Are you triggered.

    I knew I just have been getting somewhat important

    Somewhat.

    I figured this out when they started having people show up after I get to the gym.

    I knew they were all the same like people, cause for the the most part, they weren't working out, they would just like, align themselves with me, do a few pumps and then do whatever on their phones

    This one dude came in, and I was already sick of being followed

    Hadn't been to the gym in a few days cause these people just fucking bother me.

    Just fucking blows my mind how stupid people are—

    And I realized something really wrong with people.

    Like people are really fucked up inthe head, so,

    This is what I did, when I realized, they weren't going to stop fucking with me in a certain way,

    I started fucking with them back.

    I went upstairs to work out, started doing circuits.

    Did some pumps up stairs,

    Run the stairs like laps,

    Hit the tension machine,

    Kettlebells,

    Treadmill, then another circuit—

    {Enter The Multiverse}

    And I knew whoever was sending these people

    We're focused on fucking me up;

    Cause the people they sent were always like—

    Some kind of trigger.

    I knew it was some high level programming;

    They would send like a pretty girl with long hair

    To fuck me up

    Or some fat ugly dude who looked like my ex husband,

    Fat and shit,

    And they wouldn't workout much, they would just like, fuck around, then hit the phone—

    And I realized people were really fucking sick In the head, when I realized,

    After I psyched the fuck out of this fat dude

    Just fucking running circles around him and shit,

    Lifting more than he was struggling to fucking lift

    This dude is all upper body

    No fucking cardio

    No fucking legs

    Weak dick motherfucker.

    And I realized how sick people were when he goes up stairs

    And this is how else I know people are fucking with me

    They'll always get on the phone,

    And use their phones as intimidation and shit

    “Hi, yeah, yeah— I'm checking in. I'm a pussy ass robot and shit. Okay. Bye now. Wait—did you hit my cashapp yet? Okay thanks”

    How you know it's like an app or some shit.

    Fucking drones, man.

    But I could tell they were sick and I was somewhere in my way to wellness when, the dude left, then goes upstairs and gets on the phone, and I'm still downstairs and I'm like

    “Okay, since they're gonna keep fucking with me—when is the end of this album?”

    I went to check and I knew the album was an hour long—

    And I look and the album is on the last track and I thought to myself

    “I haven't touched my phone in at least an hour…”

    This dude has been in the gym for half the time and has almost not been off the phone

    He was on the phone more than working out

    And that's when I realized,

    Whether I skip a few days at the gym or not

    Whether I do what everybody else is doing or not

    Just that alone is rare.

    He was in the gym maybe a half hour or less

    And between every single set, he's on the phone

    Just like all of the other people who seemed to have been following me—

    And I realized

    That maybe they weren't even following me on purpose.

    Maybe they were being remotely sent in my direction somehow with their phones, without their intention or knowing.

    That is a possibility—

    And I knew the world had changed in a way that could possibly become dangerous, after being told for x amount of years we needed a SIM card,

    I've had my phone for almost 5 years, same model;

    up until now we “needed” a simcard—

    Now all of a sudden they're letting us know in one way or another

    “Hey, no we've always been able to remote control your phone”

    They've inteoduced the “e sim” which is their subtle way of letting you know

    They've always been able to turn on your phone signal

    Without you even knowing.

    Now they're selling you this technology

    “Oh, you don't need a sim—e sim”

    I looked, I didn't think my phone would be clmpatible

    It's a 5 year old model.

    “Oh no—it's compatible! Congratulations”

    Which means even 5 years ago before this technology became consumer,

    They had the ability to open your phone make calls texts and connect to a network

    They're just now letting you know

    This has been around for at least a decade

    And now they're selling it to you.
