You know something is wrong with the world when..
I was a simple man. I had a simple plan.
When I was born I was going to grow up. And when I had finally grown up I was going to get a job.
But then I realized that this place was insane.
Yesterday I walked out of my house. I was off searching for a job again...just doing nothing.
I passed through the park as I glanced at my paper, searching through it like a deranged and lost freak. And without noticing, I ran straight into a tree.
I fell down, crying, and clutched my head where I had been hit. The damned tree nearly killed me!
It turns out thing that had split my skull straight open...like a scalpel knife knowing its intended purpose.
Some people of course came to my rescue. Yes. Little old me, the one that said he was going to grow up and get a job, yet still can't even see a tree coming when he's walking.
I was in a delirium as the people crowded down and over me. A lady, by the name of Nancy Nam, later told me she had heard me mumbling something about carrots. She said I had sounded like "that old looney kids bunney dude."
Bugs Bunny of course. Of course.
He's like my freaking idol. I grew up watching him. Back when I was saying that I'd grow up and get a good job and not end up like some bum on the street.
Bugs was one of the reasons. He was just like me. In the big, open place that is the world. This place that's all colorful. But he'd rather be in his rabbit hole, eating his prize carrots.
And just like me, he didn't really have a place where he was.
I mean, if a man like me can't even see a tree coming when it hits him...
Well, he'd rather be in his rabbit hole and eating his carrots.
So I can understand why, in my delirium, I had mumbled like some narcissistic crimp about Bugs Bunny.
I mean, I had only hit my head. Hard. Right in front of a tree.
It can't be that bad. It might be damaging. But it can't be that bad.
But it was sure the beginning of the end for my world.
