Pointe shoe box.  Tutu costume.  Songs played by grand piano. Fearless, I waltz across the floor.  A tight bun rests on my head. “Watch where you're going,” the street man yell...

"Some of you may have taken history or civics classes that outlined the freedoms one expects in a democracy. At the heart of those freedoms is choice... With an affirmative choice, all democracy vanishes."

My brain is a wild jungle full of scary gibberish. I&#039;m writing a letter, I can&#039;t write a letter, why can&#039;t I write a letter? I&#039;m wearing a green dress, I wish I was wearing my blue dress, my blue dress is at the cleaners. The Germans wore gray, you wore blue, &#039;Casablanca&#039; is such a good movie. Casablanca, the White House, Bush. Why don&#039;t I drive a hybrid car? I should really drive a hybrid car. I should really take my bicycle to work. Bicycle, unicycle, unitard. Hockey puck, rattlesnake, monkey, monkey, underpants!
