I'm good at talking in third person, why do you talk like this?,
...Because It's Provocative...

Little Kay,

Why do I let her?
...Because It's Provocative...

Can you turn up the music?,
its so cliche!
Why do I say that?
...Because It's Provocative...

Why is it people write about the sky being, sky blue?,

Its our time to speak against congress, its our time to make a diplomatic change. I can afford health care insurance today. How about tomorrow? Will I get to eat? Will I have a place to sleep?
Why did the shoot me mom?
Well honey, because we are at the bottom of a social chain. I do not make 6-7 figures each year. I am a single white woman in poverty. Mom, I love you, but I don't know how to say it. I'm imprisoned. The sky is not my limit. The government is.
