it's just jail, arthur
even my dad spent a night or two in the drunk tank when he was young

[beatitudes]

So? That mean you got to follow in his footsteps?

[littlemissfutility]

no
actually he'd probably be mad if he thought i was telling you he was a jailbird
if he was still around anyway

i just don't think it's the worst thing in the world

[beatitudes]

Maybe not, but that don't mean you got to go and make it a way of life. Let it teach you something.


(hi! ;_; i'll be working at a booth for a three-day festival through saturday, plus working nights, so please forgive me for being a spotty snail.)

[littlemissfutility]

but it's good enough for you????
i'm not here alone

[ No worries! I've got all the time in the world. ♥ ]

[beatitudes]

That's different.

[littlemissfutility]

tell me how

[beatitudes]

Just is.

[littlemissfutility]

then it's not
if all you got is "just is," then it's not actually that different
you just don't like it

[beatitudes]

It's different cause you ain't me and you ain't your Pa.

[littlemissfutility]

i'm not planning on a life of crime from here on out
i just don't think the one time makes a difference
and i'd do it again
i know we got caught stealing, but it wasn't just to steal
people need those supplies

[beatitudes]

Unfortunately, the law don't see it that way. And you can't say you ain't planning on a life of crime, then turn around and tell me you'd do it again. They catch you in the wrong place and won't just be a cage they throw you in. They'll take you someplace you ain't coming back from, and I've had my fill of seeing folk go out that way.

You want that?
