I’m sorry, I’ll stop this seething... Hold on, while I try deep breathing... Quiet please! I’m seizing this moment to realign my chakras by design and get myself back to balance and tranquility... a state of grace and gentility... There... Yes, there... I’m there... Oh yes so very there… I’m okay I’m okay I’m mean I’m not okay But I’m not NOT okay Do you know what I mean? What am I trying to say Anyway Can we not talk about this today?
