I received a letter from my friend the other day.
I was worried - you see - I hadn’t seen or heard from him in some time.
Heard he changed his name and caught the last plane West -
heard he joined a cult - heard he walked into the river
Anyway - I couldn’t be sure.
So for weeks I left his letter lay unopened
but every night after midnight it would start -
t i c k i n g
And no matter where in the house I would hide it
I could still hear it -
t i c k i n g
So finally - you see - I opened it.
It read -
Dear Friend
I have paid an ungodly amount
simply to be one step closer to heaven
But what I’ve learned about America
is that if you believe it deep down
it’s probably true
