the first thing to minding is always the

Transport Stipulation
Transport stipulation worries a
lineup at the bus terminal, then at the entryway, then at the bus
proper, though the bus is anything but proper. Those aiming for
functions will be sorely disppointed.Those aiming for
disappointment are also likely to be disappointed. All suspicious
mouths are inspected for fire and other unpleasantries before any heads
of any state are allowed through. Those whose mouths are
on
fire are laughed at cruelly and heartlessly all along the way.
Each body part, however, is succeeded by a thermometer reading of said
part, wherefore any and all feverish components of each
passenger shall be caught up with, then blocked off at the
threshold of first aggresion.
As body parts are isolated, then whisked off to be quarantined, a crowd of noses slowly accumulates, pressing haphazardly against windows, any window, any glass, looking, looking for the day, for a cover, if only to get out of this place. Anger performance I Leave
the house with acoustic guitar over the
shoulder, slung, and walk as if, as if cool, as in iss all
cool,for the
german homies
And only on a bright and shiny day Walk until the path is crossed by an insect (See appendix C regarding which insects are most appropriate) At which point begin the documentation At which point raise the gee-tar High high overhead at a fairly steady clip Document: h = height Document:
h of 1 thru 6 = height of each string of the guitar to the nearest
micrometer relative to 0, where 0 = the ground directly underneath the
feet of the insect
And then lower the guitar very very quickly in a smooth arc that shall culminate through the body of the insect, let’s say for example grasshopper or ladybug The sound shall be documented with each of the strings isolated and all the gee-tar-generated sounds graphed separately from the grasshopper or ladybug-generated sounds. A verbal description, such as ‘The grasshopper or ladybug screams without shaking its fists in the air,’ may be included with the graph. All documentation shall be produced and printed within the hour of incidence, one copy of which shall be mailed to the Office of Insect Harrassment, at which point a generic letter of apology shall be issued and mailed to the surviving spouse and children of the late grasshopper or ladybug, if any such creatures admit to partaking in such relations. (Absolutely no one makes any amends to the guitar, itself a very loved and affected instrument, not pretty nor expensive, but loved all the same, destroyed all the same, sometimes having been accused of making a sound similar to that of love.)
