Late Remarks
There’s not much I can say.
We’re all going to die.
That didn’t come out right.
“I’m doomed,” is so melodramatic.
“I’m so doomed” is cutesy.
“I’m in trouble”
sounds like a confession
on an old-time cop show.
“We’re in trouble now,” sounds like
we’re about to be sent
to the vice-principal—
that loser!
He’d never understand.
