Starting around 11pm almost every Sunday in the summer, there's some kinda parade that goes outside my apartment I have no idea what it is I keep saying Im gonna go down there & find out one of these days but I half-fear it'll be empty cept for 1 man saying there's been no parade here for 40 years

you finally give in to your curiosity and go down the parade stops, and the marshal walks over, smiling "we've been waiting for you" "here's your mask" "take your place" the parade moves on

(I was going to end this darkly, just out of habit, but then I thought, WHY??)

Because that's just the way the world is headed right now. You've gone and tempted fate with your saccharine absence of dread.
