--Puts on 'This Is Water' talk by famed author, David Foster Wallace
--Lights cigarette, sips wine. It's cheap merlot; kretek.
--Compliment the talk by blasting Pearl Jam's 'Ten' album on a seperate stereo
--Slips into FILA tracksuit and New Balance shoes. Ash out cigarette. Swig wine.
>"Banal platitudes have a life and death importanc-EVEEENNN FLOOOWWW"
--Unfold bandana that was in my pocket and place it over my forehead.
--Stand up, warm up my legs. Touch toes, bending my spine into place.
>"Oooaaaa-ay oohooo I'm still the old liberal arts cliche ooooaaa I'm still alive how to think"
--My legs are pumping with blood, ready. I stare down the television set in my room with a dark interest.
--Jeremy comes on once "This Is Water" begins to fade to an end.
--Swing my leg round and roundhouse kick the TV set, screaming "It's controlling us!"
--It crashes into pieces on the floor. My parents enter, shouting.
>"Jeremy spoke in class today,"
--I mime the words of Eddie's deep, swooning voice as I stare my parents down.
--Straighten out my FILA tracksuit, light another Durrie, pour a cup of cheap merlot, get my parents to sit down and have wine and durries. Start 'This Is Water' again, with 'Ten', louder this time, of course.
