FOR WHOM I EUPHAMISM


Unemployed in Harlem sounds worse than Jobless in NYC.
Furthermore, Eternal Student in Neutral sounds more like a lifestyle
than Deficiency in Volition.
Grab Ass at Work just sounds wrong but imagine what it sounds like from
the portable where teachers are having desk-sex, or inside the labs where
there are Black, Marble Slabs.
And, Ambulatory Bootleg Agent is not more polite than Chinese DVD Lady on the 2 Express.
Is no where near the insensitivity of Mexican Mango Mujer or Dominican Gypsy Cabstronaut.
Skateboard Kids, call them Pointless Loiter Sports for they choose to vulture
and shave concrete when there are Proper Obligations to Delegate.
Graffitists are always on Operation Guerilla Handle because I would too if I
could write my name all day.
Bohemians surrender a portion of their face to Daddy, Inc. sounds mean although
Entitlement is a Real Disease.
Alas, the sound of something respectable is often more than pause solemn additive;
it is soundsmore and the Landscape of Propriety Holding Court.
The Galloping Kitten is the deal, tambourining down the hall eight minutes
from midnight--you can't mistake that nuisance--but it is also Kitten Entertained by Plastic Milk Corkscrew.
Likewise, we could say the Shameless Interpreter but might only mean that boosting
Time Magazines from the Children's Center Lobby is Automatic Blunder on Auto-Throttle.
The reality is Onanism is direct descendent of Euphamism and that the ranges of mountains are still churning Earth even though Solipsism is the sharpest drill, it is also enchantingly easy.
Euphamism for no one I say sounds almost Robespierrian like you are running towards
the guillotine, like there is terror in your cause, as if you were explaining to a dolt the Pillars of the Pillock.
