because i felt inspired in cyclone sams

i say for three hours in a dark room that was not dark for my benefit but for that of the screaming teenagers and crying children stepping through the door forgetting reality for a grand total of two minutes and twenty-five seconds i was an innocent bystander hoping for something to kick in so i too could isolate myself from the truth- my focus is far to intune to the place i sit in this dark room i know why the noises screech and i can place every blinking light because unlike the 1589 people that have walked into this darkroom entrusting their lives to a couple of people they don't even know- this is my reality... a reality i don't escape by walking out into the light- so for three house i'll watch the shadows on the walls and think about how at the end of the day all i've become is paperwork to the guys collecting money- that is (of course) until one person walks through my door with a smile and a sentence on their lips much like- "wow, what a great job your doing!" and in that moment- being paperwork to greedy hands has nothing on my smile and two minutes and twenty-five seconds is just enough time to jump from realty...

this is about work... duh. when you start thinking deeply about worlds of fun rides... you know something ain't right... but you know, i like this... so maybe i don't want to be right.
