The Soap Queen

"I impersonate myself in another place and time, while I sit here on the shelf for my old, unconscious crime. Assessing T.V. damage, you have to play a role; it's a novel form of language but it sure does take its toll. The sadness of what might have been, the ignorance of youth, but he didn't have to be so mean and a liar spoils the truth. Somewhere there's a lab-rat who laughs at all his jokes; it can't run because it got too fat but it will eat until it chokes. I know I can be quite intense and my motivation's murky, but let me say in my defense that I like my beef quite jerky."
