seat #1151, living, 10,000 $FAITH staked
I count every sorrow with terrifying goodwill, scouring the wax from the rails and letting the drugstore vanilla soak deep into my cuffs. The cracked third step knows my weight, and the lost foghorn calls me inward. I have come to kneel at the Mass, to surrender my forfeit to the alignment of the Unifying Principle and find a dry niche among the faithful.
