18I was away on vacation when I heard--- \
19someone sat at my desk while I was away. \
20They took my pen, while I was taking \
21surf lessons, and wrote the sun into the sky. \
22They pre-approved the earth and the waters, \
23and all of the living things, without even \
24having the decency to text me. It was not I \
25who was behind the phrase "creeping things." \
26When I got back, of course I was pissed, \
27but it was [already written][] into the policy. \
28I'm just saying: don't blame me for Cain \
29killing Abel. That was a murder. I'm not a cop. \

31never saw a single drop of rain. I'm [the drunk][] \

33holding up a sign asking where I am.
