God help you.
Jesus help you.
Everybody else help you.
Everybody. Everybody make happy.
Make everybody happy.
Be a comedian.

Listen to this episode for sure. Because you have to find out what appeared underneath my laptop as I read this one to you. And now, I'm checking my face for stray hairs as I continue to listen to birds. You'll hear them. Be nice.

Today, from a mystery location, I read three Moore poems: To Be Liked by You Would Be a Calamity, Poetry, and Nothing Will Cure the Sick Lion but to Eat an Ape. And I dichotomously want to do nothing but talk and be very very very quiet. I’m gentle though. I’m dying; I’m writing it down. Calm.
