“We who remember the time before were forced into submission. We have nothing left of us. We remember when it was revered to be your own star. To make something of yourself, to achieve. We have time now, but we are not allowed to shine. What we do is for them, to benefit them. We are cogs in their machine.”

“I’m standing with other parents on the school playground. A misery of humans, huddled, hunched, and wet.”

“I’m standing with other parents in the school playground. A misery of humans, huddled, hunched, and wet. Our golf umbrellas are only helping the top half of our bodies. Even though the storm has passed, the wind is still whipping up the rain, our legs are soaked. And isn’t it fun standing in wet feet?”
