ARROGANCE

AND HEART FELT APOLOGY.  TALK IS SO CHEAP.  NO ONE MEANS WHAT THEY SAY.  HOW DID LIFE BECOME APPEARANCE ONLY?

IMMIGRANTS FLEE DEATH THREATENING SITUATIONS AND LOSE SIGHT OF WHAT'S IMPORTANT FOR MONEY BELIEVING MONEY CAN PROTECT THEM.  THEY COME TO AMERICA FOR FREEDOM AND SUCCUMB TO THE SLAVERY OF THE ALMIGHTY AMERICAN DOLLAR TRADING ONE OPPRESSION FOR A PRETTIER ONE

IF I SEE ARROGANCE I MUST HAVE IT.  I CAN'T SEE IT UNLESS I HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH IT.

IN THIS CORNER OF THE WORLD SET IN WARTIME JAPAN WOMEN ARE TO BE CALM AND ALWAYS SMILING.  SHUZU SMILES WHILE COOKING, CLEANING, LIVING FOR HER FAMILY.  ME.  AND THERE IS ALWAYS A WAR.  COLD WAR.  WAR ON POVERTY.  WAR AGAINST ILLITERACY.  ETC.  WAR GIVES LIFE MEANING TO THE WORLD.

GREED IS THE ATTEMPT TO FEEL REAL.  TRYING TO FEEL SUBSTANTIAL THROUGH THINGS.  WHY AMERICA IS FAT AND GETTING FATTER.  PLAYING MIND GAMES WITH THINGS.  I KNEW MARLIN AND HELEN WERE DOING IT AND NOW I FINALLY KNOW WHY.  AND  AILEEN AND OTHERS TRYING TO TAKE MY THINGS AND MY LIFE.  WITH ALL THE GETTING GET UNDERSTANDING.  THEY MISSED THAT ONE.

I LOVE MY CURVES.  I DON'T WANT TO BE A BLIMP FULL OF HOT AIR.  MY THINGS GIVE ME PLEASURE.  IT ALSO GIVES ME PLEASURE TO GIVE THEM AWAY.  DAD, MARLIN AND HELEN USE THINGS AS WEAPONS IN THE WAR TO BE SOMEONE.
