Perestroika.

What Joy remarked to the fairest: I can't lose you. Not like my keys, but in similar degrees. I need you. More than you need your boys. It gets stronger with every step down Edgewater Drive.


Where would we be without Kissimmee? You'd prove yourself in a cabaret, I'll the be the cash within your lingerie. If coffee's for closers, then openers are posers with blacklight smiles engraved on their face. You're the "A" in headache. You're like a wind-chime for the deaf, or the sunlight to the blind.

And everyone should be proud because it isn't school, but it's an application, nonetheless. and It's in April, which is surprising to me. These are wanton acts of teenagery.

This is where mighty meets the might-haves. Where sober college-bounders take fourteen hour naps. And where we all came from, before we spread around. There's fifty states in this tiny place, let's construct a plan to see each one, perhaps. This is our town?

This is our problem; we're stuck here. Wayward and wary and worried, uncanny, we're bored. There's more than Friday nights of coolers and ice. Though, I couldn't exactly explain right now.

And, hopelessly, with less than two months, I finally bought a table to hold what I'm capable of
