<p>Call me Marlow.</p>
<p>You saw him out of the corner of your eye. Fashion label jeans, shirt just tight enough to suggest&#8230;<br />
(&#8220;It&#8217;s not what&#8217;s revealed but what&#8217;s concealed,&#8221; said Ms. Conrads about art, and you would heartily agree if you knew art. Splatter-splotch guy?)<br />
SENIOR ALERT!<br />
It was love (omg!):<br />
Maybe it was the sports player charm (qt)<br />
Thrill of an older fellow (roflcopter)<br />
Mysterious knowledge of anime and science (plz)<br />
Gun rack (srsly?)<br />
But you up-down him and want to effing shout &#8220;Right on!&#8221; up to the mother-effing trees!<br />
Pulcinella ring through the breeze.<br />
Experience like a sage, amateur Brad Pitt in training &#8211;<br />
Casanova, baby.<br />
Little nymphet running to your Humbert Humbert.<br />
There are snakes in the motha-effing school!</p>
<p>Have to stay silent, keep it inside, untranslatable like morse:<br />
. .   . . &#8211; . . . &#8211; - . &#8211; . &#8211; . &#8211; . . &#8211; . &#8211; - .  . &#8211; . . &#8211; - &#8211; . . . &#8211; .   . . . . . . &#8211; - . &#8211; . &#8211; . -</p>
<p>&#8220;The junk merchant &#8230; does not improve and simplify his merchandise. He degrades and simplifies the client.&#8221;<br />
Peer pressure, competition blow off course like Aeolian winds.<br />
They&#8217;ll be back.<br />
Corruption is the name of the game for the Mad Men &#8211;<br />
Morals deep like shallow pools, won&#8217;t think twice.<br />
Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.<br />
Great expectations descended and break pay tribute money like Massacio handing Perugino’s key to the treasure.</p>
<p>Just like Iraq Taylor Swift PT Cruiser: sounded good at the time.<br />
Love is not Seth/Summer L.B Jeffries/Lisa Fremont<br />
You don&#8217;t know love&#8230;<br />
	so, like Heidegger, let it be.<br />
Famous disavowal: “I know very well, but all the same…”<br />
Careful Rumsfeld, always sounded good at the time.<br />
&#8220;Stick to your own kind, one of your own kind.&#8221;</p>
<p>Next day plays a game of disappear like the Major.<br />
Jumps out the window as you pop in.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t leave 9th grade guys fighting over remnants like famished Irish farmers foraging for a tater.<br />
Satisfactory reason exists to avoid Olympians.<br />
You will see the best minds of your generation destroyed by madness.<br />
Like McD&#8217;s, expand, monopolize relations.<br />
&#8220;If this is the best of all possible worlds, what are the others?&#8221;<br />
Open up hearts of darkness like Suger.<br />
&#8220;The horror!&#8221;</p>
<p>All work and no play makes (insert nice fellow&#8217;s name here) a dull boy.<br />
All work and no play makes (insert nice fellow&#8217;s name here) a dull boy.<br />
All work and no play makes (insert nice fellow&#8217;s name here) a dull boy.</p>
<p>My suggestion for the 9th Grade Ladies starts<br />
wait&#8230;<br />
Fix hair, straighten shirt<br />
wait&#8230;<br />
Ok: GOL (giggle out loud) with your little girl-power teen posse gather tightest together Sancho Panza on left, Watson on right (in girl form), and then TBH just say L8R, LSR.<br />
“I am on your side. But you have no way of knowing it, because our heart is blind.”</p>
<p>Depart as air, shake your splendid locks at the runaway sun.<br />
How old are you now?<br />
&#8220;I&#8217;m seventeen and I&#8217;m crazy. My uncle says the two always go together. When people ask your age, he said, always say seventeen and insane.&#8221;<br />
You&#8217;re 15,14,13 &#8212; 17. And crazy.<br />
After all, Cabot was an explorer and disappeared forever.<br />
&#8220;I decline to accept the end of man.&#8221;<br />
So sit back and enjoy the strawberries and the Queen’s gambit.<br />
We all grow up too fast so let&#8217;s walk backwards.</p>
