It's easy, there's a trick to it, you do it or you die.

We don't have a clue what's really going down, we just kid ourselves that we're in control of our lives while a paper's thickness away things that would drive us mad if we thought about them for too long play with us, and move us around from room to room, and put us away at night when they're tired, or bored.

Books smell and feel better. They have that wonderful thingness of turning the pages.
