The Ghost of Corporate Future
A man walks out of his apartment, it is raining, he's got no umbrella. He starts running beneath the awnings, trying to save his suit, trying to dry but no good.
When he gets to the crowded subway platform, he takes off both of his shoes. He steps right into somebody's fat loogie and everyone who sees him says, "Ew."
But he doesn't care, 'cause last night he got a visit from the Ghost of Corporate Future. The ghost said, "Take off both your shoes whatever chances you get, especially when they're wet."
He also said, "Imagine you go away on a business trip one day and when you come back home your children have grown and you never made your wife moan"
"And people make you nervous. You'd think the world is ending, and everybody's features have somehow started blending. And everything is plastic, and everyone's sarcastic, and all your food is frozen, it needs to be defrosted."
"You'd think the world was ending right now."
"Well maybe you should just drink a lot less coffee, and never ever watch the ten o'clock news, maybe you should kiss someone nice, or lick a rock, Or both."
"Maybe you should cut your own hair 'cause that can be so funny. It doesn't cost any money and it always grows back. Hair grows even after you're dead"
"And people are just people, they shouldn't make you nervous. The world is everlasting, It's coming and it's going. If you don't toss your plastic, the streets won't be so plastic. And if you kiss somebody, then both of you'll get practice."
"The world is everlasting . Put dirtballs in your pocket. And take off both your shoes. 'Cause people are just people. People are just people like you.
The world is everlasting. It's coming and it's going.

Happy Christmas.
Write me, damn you. I am coming soon to a county near you.
Me, me, me. It's all about me. Did you know that?
And Regina Spektor. It's all about me and Regina Spektor.
And you, obviously. If I am ice and Spektor is fire, you sit between us like a puddle of lukewarm water.
Between us, we speak the truth.
That's my view.
