It's supposed to be funny, but she can't get over the fact that her old mother is attempting a rap.<br /><br />DAVE - Wow, coming from the master, that praise means a lot.<br /><br />JULIE - My dysmorphic friend, think about it.

Of course, I would have to get famous first. Maybe a poetry slam. There's a hip hop rap thing I'm working on and if I get the courage I'll film it and put it here.<br /><br />VICKY - I like trippy words.

Mine isn't about dissolving, per se, but it's still a strong dose of fear of annihilation. I think that is a primal fear. We humans are hardwired for that. Some of us just feel it more intensely. Sometimes when I'm trying to explain how something feels to me, I have to tell the listener, "Look, I know I'm not actually going to die from this, but I FEEL as if life, as I know it, is going to end."<br /><br />I'd come to your poetry readings!<br /><br />WV - mudnip.
