 what if I paid this parking ticket I found by the side of the road instead of
 paying my rent this month
 
 do you think the world would burn down
 
 do you think the apartment complex would collapse
 
 do you think my police force would throw my stuff on the road
 
 do you think they'd change the locks
 
 what if I just didn't leave
 
 what if I smoked some weed
 
 "that's against your contract"
 
 okay
 
 what if I did it anyway
 
 what if I did what I was told
 
 I think I would surely drown

 forming letters in the sky
 
 anyway the text would "burn" into existence slowly and you had time after
 typing
 your words to go back and edit them but also whatever you said was semi
 permanent. Thus forcing a smooth and ideal progression toward thinking about
 the things you say.
 
 Also separate idea but it'd be neat if there was like... a show or something
 that just recorded a person's desktop as they fucked around on the internet.
 Call it... ambient desktopping. It'd look a little like those coding twitch
