12,697. YOU SEEM NICE

YOU SEEM NICE
You seem nice but I don't
know. I've been through scenes 
like this before : Someone who
comes across as a vast success,
and turns out to be a tipped
canister of crud. It's easy to
lie; that's the easiest thing in
the world, feigning interest
in neighbors and kids, plugging
a memory on the unsuspecting 
so you can fidget your way in.
That's how it's always done, the
psychotic foot in the door. Oh
don't do it, whatever your name
girl is; you'll be so sorry and the
fake sleigh ride's not worth a dime.
California's nothing but a fever.
I knew Jimmy. You knew John.
Now let the lies begin anon.
