| Amanda: | i hate the css profile |
| i want to kill everything | |
| but i'm glad that i'm doing it now instead of later | |
| omg doing this with my sister is so great | |
| she has an aptitude for looking at billions of numbers | |
| i'm going to make her do my taxes in the future | |
| Alex: | ...this is like |
| child exploitation | |
| i'm picturing a sweatshop | |
| where kids are forced to do taxes | |
| and you are walking around with a duster in your hand | |
| ready to beat up a kid at the first sight of an arithmetic error | |
| the room is drafty | |
| kids are wearing thin shirts and no shoes | |
| you are wearing a leather coat and boots | |
| outside is snowing | |
| the gusty wind pounds the thin window panes | |
| inside is the sound of silence | |
| only the croaky moan of pencil against paper | |
| there flickering light is a symphony of despair | |
| the smell of sulfur is a poem of sorrow | |
| inside the decimals and numbers are the dreams of childhood | |
| the stings of frozen fingers are the only constants | |
| and in their tiny worlds | |
| there are no variables | |
| for tomorrow is a reprise of yesteryear | |
| and memory is a weight they do not bear | |
| the end |
