I am good. So good-at making things known. I can communicate an idea with unparalleled fidelity to the most uncongenial of audiences. I will make you a list. And it will detail with expert specificity, all you need from me. I will write you a report. You will know everything. I can do this. For you. I think I am lost. A form larger than the space I inhabit. Living within the boundaries of etiquette and expectation. I want to be done with this. I feel... so. Deeply. And I replace it. I articulate and extrapolate in vociferous agreement. I force my general disposition and prepare my responses. I'm good. How are you? I am somewhere else. Beyond this inane chatter. But I will not tell you this. Because you cannot understand. I will give you what you expect from me. To get you away from me. To get me back to me. Is there anybody out there?
