From one ever after once upon a time to another narrated by infection the shell game continues. Passed on with radial voice-overs wrapped into tires large tires shaping minds into rolling waves where ships are sunk and fishermen carved out from between unfinished lines of thought cast out as bait dispensed in ear droppers for another tale. Can induce dizziness where the world spins with its spin revolving positions around the maelstrom dragging brains from rolling waves and rolling hills being clawed at by forgetting lines of thought cast out as bait dispensed in ear droppers for another tale as rolling hills the soft rolling hills are expurgated from between valleys emptied out into depressions along the towering egg carton shelling out tiptoeing and carelessness.
The Interview
The wallpaper was not only distracting it clashed with their complexion.
(Needs a hell of a lot less polish).
Interview with an Equation
Both sides agreed that a shave would do the trick. Going out on a limb here and a limb there until the figure was truncated.
"Can tell from your getting back up from that bat to the head that dinner is going to be delayed."
"Stop procrastinating and mix them together and see what happens. Stop using your fear of the roof coming off as an excuse. See what happens. Come and see and come and see what happens. Your fear in your face watching the splotchy red palm marks swim about your skin makes up for things when one is in not so terrible a mood."
"Which one is which one is which one you both take turns being good and being bad mostly bad."
"All part of the same face same gestures for taking these daggers and making those eyes halt their shifting from side to side. May as well let you tip this boat right over right not over for quite some daggers and mud."
"Another postponed funeral prolongs the interview."
An Audition Instead
"What motivates you?"
"Some of my organs."
"Which ones?"
"A small minority."
"Can you name just a couple?"
"They prefer anonymity unless they're being replaced then it doesn't matter does it?"
"How would you describe your personality?"
"Double A."
"Alcoholics Anonymous?"
"Battery."
"Energetic?"
"Threatening contact."
"What?"
"I meant power source."
"I thought you reminded me of my father."
"Was he threatening? Did he ever threaten you with very dark green wet vegetables or pungent fish?"
"Pungent?"
"Formidable was the word I was preferring come to think of it. Did he wear sunglasses frequently and unnecessarily?"
"I'm beginning to notice my chest tightening with this word of yours - threatening."
"These words of mine these words of yours. I've been noticing your chest for a spell the spell you cast. You know come to think of it I believe I more accurately remind you of your boss sociopathic authority figure that he is while your father probably turned grey prematurely in fact I could wager that there is much he probably did prematurely. Additionally, come to think of it, you know what I would change about this audition?"
"That people like you wouldn't be eligible?"
"Eligibility doesn't apply to me. I would change the format."
"The format of the audition?"
"No, the format outside of the audition."
Fingernails tapping on the counter in front of the teller's window. Oversight frames them into snapshots. Haven't forgotten them never will will will never will from passed it passed over with tires large tires shaping minds into rolling waves where ships are sunk and fishermen carved out from between unfinished lines of thought cast out as bait dispensed in ear droppers for another tale. Can induce vomiting conclusions. Don't forget to check your work. The scratch work that claws at the hills sinking along with the ships between the rolling waves. Missing the hills forgetting more than missing with their oversight can't forget what they want to remember with their tires large tires passing over shaping minds into rolling waves. Some died before their sentence was complete. Some were born so they wouldn't miss out.
