Guy and girl not alright. Not alright at all. Scratched and bleeding and frowning deeply. Woman shaking. Man spitting like crazy, making a little puddle between his legs, forcefully blowing the saliva and flem from his mouth, which is situated between his knees as he sits curled up like one of those one-in-a-million african wood carvings you can buy at the street fair for $20.

Auras in the negative. Not dark auras, but an absence. Like black holes. Like how we call them black holes because they are the absence of matter, but really they are sucking all matter into them because they are so needy.

Not at all like the US is a black hole, sucking all the worlds energy and culture and food and blood and land and wood and water and oil and love and hate and contempt into itself, just like the Greeks, Romans, and Ottomans did before us.

And not really like white means light and blackness means darkness which means the absence of light. I'm hearing an evangelist somewhere, right now, once every 8 seconds in this country, statistically, saying "like when a room is in darkness and when you flip on the lightswitch the light drives all the darkness out." And right now, once every alternate 8 seconds, someone is thinking, "yeah but that makes a lot of shadows." Unless it's an empty room.

But very much how lightness isn't very light and darkness very dark to a fly that sees through ultraviolet eyes or a bat that sees through sonar eyes or even a dog who sees through black and white eyes but has a nose that can triangulate the location of any object based on its odor.

Blameless, pure need. Blameless, pure darkness. Darkness that is automatically, karmically redeemed, but that is always going to have to be paid for.

No payments or interest for 90 days. As if, if you don't die within those 90 days, it makes any difference.

Jesus paid for someone's sins against you on the cross, but you are going to be paying for them for the rest of your life.

Victims.
