THEM

she's not too bad after sandwiches and magazines, even though her pet rabbit has a cocky ego, and "ID" begins simply as plastic magnetic letter for childrens learnings alphabets, until the day they notice an arrow pointing right under the "6" in a keyboard, the proverbial of end of child hoodies, and while they know what the arrow means and know how to use it, they stop caring and a certain kind of suicide occurs, but they'll come back to the office tomorrow because lazarus is drawn to the cubicle like frogs are drawn to rain puddles and jesus is drawn to look like an american. eventually, absolutely everything will make no sense (not "nonsense") and they may just maybe be able to stop worrying about johnny paycheck.
