I have a strange
Respect for the Pistons.

For the city of Detroit.

I never feel safe--
Even knowing we’re the
Better team.

It’s like my mother--

She respects people more
Who have suffered
Sufficiently.

Like the jews.

And the little sisters
Who have been through so much...

We make fun of her for it.

But I guess
I’m kind of the same way.

Supposedly,
It can be traced back to late 2015--
That’s when it’s said to have started.

That’s what the numbers would suggest.

In the northern part of the United States.

Right--
About--
Here:

Chicago

There is a line in history.
Blurry and jagged,
But a line.

Extending out from
This--
Exact--
Point.

Back then -exasperation-
Average Americans
Weighed less than 200 pounds--
And lived well into their 70s!

If you can believe that--

I know:

It sounds
Ridiculous.

That’s like two--
Whole--
Life-spans.

But, that’s what the numbers say,
Anyways.

So something
Significant must have
Happened.

And it changed our entire structure.
Everything.

We just don’t know what it was.

A time
And a place--

For some reason
Converge.

Tectonic plates--

Making mountain out of man.
