I am continually drawn to the inauthentic. The failed. Persuasion is interesting. Failed attempts at persuasion is more interesting. Cloaking and deceiving. A wolf in sheep's clothing.

Over and over again attempts to accomplish a thing result in the opposite or at least something not the thing itself. Sometimes things work. That's fine. I like the voice of broken things.

We can barely understand one another and we're trying so fucking hard to understand what works. Perfect communication! Like the angels!

Jokes are funny when they work. They're even funnier when they don't work. Perhaps this is a topos of some sort. The topos of failure. The topos of trying really really really really hard. The topos of your mom.
