they were talking about high school

                                      their respective schools because they were raised in different states

stands to reason that education their cultures would have been modestly different

had smoked a bit of weed

                             conceded they were like Sagan

or possibly sages

Did they have talent shows at your school

We had something in kind. Was called Mock Rock. Kids picked a band, a song, dressed up, lipsynched.

Really

   What do you mean really?

Ill give you a talent woud be necessary But Im referring to a talent show where contestants sang dance performed magic played an instrument  performed a dramatic soliloquy

Soliloquy?

Jeez.

      That’s grim.

Anyone ask the deceased prior to their deathwho may or may not have decided to be cremated if they wanted their mortal remains doled out

        he believed what a legitimate politician said

Chad & Jeremy  Yesterday’s Gone  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtiZ61Bibbw

was he wrong

                he didnt believe so

he knew that authentic ethical politicians and civil rights leaders died in a hail of bullets

some of them expected they might

I’m more concerned for you (The Weekend: Alicia Menendez  Symone Sanders-Townsend  Michael Steele), and for all of us and our families, and the American people. Because this clown had four years of being debriefed in National Security issues, my concern is, in a prison situation, he’s willing to give away these secrets, as I always say, for a bag of tuna, a book of stamps, he will do it.
