_As HIM delivers the following, he does not repeat the same cadence again and again. Each time thru the sentence he emphasizes different words, pauses in different places._ HIM:I want to smoke.

The cupboards don’t get painted. The washbasins don’t get ajaxed. The toilet paper sits on the back of the toilet, tho it would only take a couple of seconds to remove and throw out the old cardboard tube, and install the fresh roll.

This can wait._ ~~SIGN ON A BUS ACHING BY: “Souldeath Callipygian”~~ _~~[no one, not even ME, knows why]~~_
