    About this ebook

    Nine slams, scraped from the bottom of my heart and the depths of my soul. They touch on the beauty of a child's dreams, the pain that Skywalker must have felt when he found his family blown to smithereens, and the bells built into our personal pleasure machines. Read at your own risk. This EP includes nine illustrations.

      they never want you to focus on

      the fact that everyone came together

      that day, ten assholes hit two towers

      and before they fell, they burned for hours

      while hundreds of people climbed the stairs

      wearing all the gear that people must wear

      when they are one of those we have hired

      to run not away, but into a fire

      and those were just the first of the everyday heroes

      thousands, of them running, down to Ground
