Momentary Loss of All Hope For Humanity

while waiting in line at a bank, a television hoisted in the upper corner of the room has anderson cooper’s television show on & a woman is testifying that during her near death experience, she acquired the ability to speak telepathically to both aliens & angels--- she looks right into the camera when she says it with all the “faith” in the world gleaming out her beady little idiotic glow worm eyes & those beady eyes stare right down at you while the person in front of you is taking way too long to finish whatever the **** they are doing at the window--- your mind dashes between frustration with the actual physical idiot asking mundane bank questions to an obviously bored out of their goddamned mind bank teller & the nutbag on the telly trying to convince a national audience that she is somehow SPECIAL.
