debut

[Cadaverous Pallor]

*brings bongos onto stage*

<deliberately>
Ahem.
<audience quiets>

*taps bongo, which makes a soft *bump* noise*

Children.

*bump*

Children, naive and unsure.

*bump*

If we'd known...oh if we'd known the world wasn't that scary.

*bump*

Confidence, solidarity, security.

*bump*

Lessons hidden by the adults, withheld.
Told campfire stories until our dreams were filled with fear and we CRIED OUT FOR HELP!!

*BUMPBUMP*

When one is in fear, one is controllable, one is at the mercy of the winds.

*bumpbumpbump badumpbump badump badump badump badump baDUMP*

We wore the ruby slippers and walked the many miles.

*bump*

Now with heels cliqued, statements made, the true journey begins.

*bumpbump*

And the beat goes on.
