apropos

this is my favorite song off tori's new album (which is, perhaps, surprisingly good-- i keep expecting her to bomb and she never does for me). i highly recommend you give it a listen. it's bringing up all sorts of things for me this week.

                                                                  ((the looking glass 
                                                                             reflects))

then a voice calls me back:

                                        --THIS IS JUST CIRCUMSTANCE.*
                                                 IT IS NOT PERSONAL.**--

((oh no,
it never is.))

then you ram your hand in your bag for a "Little Friendly Substance"

* by the time you're 25 they will say you've gone and blown it.
** by the time you're 35, i must confide, you will have

                            blown
                            them 
                             all.

right on cue, just act surprised when they invite you to take your curtain call  
                                        C HI N A'S
                                     ed            w
                                   mb                a
                                 li                    l
                           you  c                        l


i have done what i've done
and it has the 

"Ultimate 

Consequence"

then a voice calls me back:
                                    --THIS IS NOT BUSINESS. NO.
                                          IT'S MORE LIKE.
                                            SPIRITUAL.***--

is that what it is?
Then you ram your hand in your bag for a little Protection

* by the time you're 25 they will say you've gone and blown it.
** by the time you're 35 
((i must confide))

you will have blown them all.

right on cue just act surprised when they invite you to
