Only one other person in the place.
Ventriloquist?! Great—
Did I wake up on the Bow of the Love Boat?
It’s pathetic—People need too much attention
the unicycle jackball on the way here wasn’t enough? Now I gotta see this?
don’t most people want—peace and quiet? I just need to be able to think…
I don’t need someone spitting bible verses in my ears—or whatever people are compelled to do
I may wear vintage shirts from time to time‌
At least I’m quiet about it
I’m gonna have to say something
As I walked by—I realized I was wrong…
It was a child—a mentally challenged child— maybe the bow tie threw me off—
He’s obviously a better human being than I am—more patient, more decent, open, caring…
He knows…
I’m wrong… So what…
