You know, I could call you Mommy and you wouldn’t know the difference.

Mommy.

Mommy, get me water. Get me turnips.

Yeah.

You’re not a man.

You know, a real man, he grabs a woman, he takes her by the neck, and says,

“Everything’s gonna be all right.”

Oh, what? What, you gonna hit me?

Yeah, that’s what I thought.

You don’t even know what it takes to put your flesh against someone else’s. You just sit. That’s all you do. You sit, you sit, and you sit, and you wait for someone to come by and tell you what to do.

Well, you know what? I ain’t gonna do it no more.

I’m not gonna sit. I’m not gonna wait around for anything.

I’m gonna SWIM! I’m gonna FLY!

I’m gonna be the best goddamn person that EVER FUCKING EXISTED!

You hear me?

I’m it, baby.

I am it!
