Between the Skyscrapers

what you don't have to do


“And now I'm hearing there's a girl somewhere who wants to dress like a man. Now why in the hell would she go and do that? Just because she can? The whole world's gone topsy-turvy. We gotta save it while there's still time! We gotta put our feet down on this stuff we don't understand! And the only way to do that, folks, is to draw more imaginary lines...” he said, to a murmur of agreement all around. Then, without warning, his head came off, and rolled away so quickly that it would never be found. Nobody moved a muscle; even their hearts stopped beating. And there they sit still, frozen in their pews, as they were on the very day of that ill-fated meeting. So let this be a lesson, if this lesson should apply to you: Don't talk with your mind full; first you gotta chew. Then simmer and swimmer in a sea of green and blue, and only when you haven't done anything for a while will you know what you don't have to do.
