I'm going to have to be careful not to overshoot this, and fall into being an ambitious bastard. Somehow, I'll string together the package and animate it. After all, you and I both know that joints are a tenuous connection. And I'll have to learn to drive, not be driven. Because I've seen enough of that one, and purchased enough strength on loan from it.

It's L___ V_____, New M______, here, and it's cold. But as my eyes follow the lines without thought, they drift, faster than any vehicle on land, so quickly up to I_______, that it arrives as a surprise.

Passing through the flatlands on a point higher than the horizon,
The sun warps and twists my shadow.

On a planet smoother than marble,
I trace out a microscopic path.

But for all the things smaller than my view,
Smaller than thought,
Barely touched by the quick fingers of feeling,
I would be nowhere, a particle of dust.

Thus I am such a small thing
That all the world cannot find
The will that deflects my path,
From a straight and unconscious course.

Damn it, I miss you. Worse than the itch that comes a few times a year under my skin graft, to remind me that I laid myself bare so bad it wouldn't heal on its own.

Because I've laid myself bare so bad, it won't heal on its own. But everything else I'll handle, damn it.

I promise, when this is all over, I will become a man of peace.
My fondest memory of that whole night, is your happy smile. With that, I can finally sleep tonight.

I want to make you happy. I want to make you the happiest girl in the world.
