Delusional Pablum

hey Curtis, are you going to the protest?
me? nah. I better stay home and watch.
really? because it's so cold out there?
uh uh. I can deal with cold. I just don't want to get shot.
whoa! you think that could happen?
haven't you been paying attention? I have no use for bullies or other assholes, and I don't care who knows it, even assholes with guns on the street.
that could be a problem. maybe you should sit this one out.
that's kinda what I'm thinkin'. bring me back a latte when you're done, ok?
if I survive, you mean?
yeah, if.
