The person who reads this will know who they are.

 

Those of us who wait with our packages are expected to evince signs of a thrill that, in fact, we've never felt. The substitute heads with which we were forced to make do within thirty minutes of our artificial births have excessively limited emotional valences and even our hands react with duplicative trailing stress when forced to trace implicated air-images before the nostrils of the dispossessed. When 'rhyming season' fuels the need for a touch-and-go sensibility in proxies disordered by any other name, we can be counted upon to greet whatever flare may arise with a diagram of an improvised drainage system to be deployed in desperate times llike these.

It's why we want you there. You are the one person it's been our pleasure to entrust with the care and feeding of three unnamed witnesses to an atrocity proposed, planned and executed by a vacuous vagabond who's been known to inhale exhaust fumes in a carport or two. When summoned into a vestibule of our choosing, a safer course that you might consider would include, but not be limited to, exhibiting the gestures only ever seen in a person twice your age or less. This will insure a nightly pageant of mental fatigue guaranteed to enthrall even the youngest packument to seek a place at the table of our incessant peonage scenarios.

Without a grim visage you will parlay a mere sconce into a bountiful replay of scenes from a life in undersea dioramas. They will keep you involved while plotting to sever your last connection to a fecund encyclical of our notions  within trailblazing hydration regimens to prevent a dustage situation in fossilized lions half your girth. Now the blot will echo our special transition team as they tear into a wanton tragisty of gumbs-to-the-fore. And you may not like what they tell you. But you can count on one (stinking) thing: they will never pull your hat into a sleeve stuffed with plasmic numerals. That would be too much. And you know it. Be still. It won't be long. Unless it is. Oy.
