seems like last jump had an increase in law enforcement officers.
how nice. i know i for one feel much safer with some of new york's finest aboard.

all i want to do is my work anyway I choose to do it, all I want is the next line and the line after that. what they do and who they are and what they want and what they say and what they write has no interest for me and, unfortunately for them, no interest to most others living, dying or about to be born, uh huh.

boys in uniform inspiring poetry readings
you all should go dancing next

[blunted]

dancing's not my thing
but you feel free

[tumbleweeds]

two left feet? poor thing
i actually like dancing but it's never been the waltz
think i'll stick to people who know how to have fun if i go looking for a dance, though

Only 1 NYPD I've met.

[blunted]

two's still more than zero, or don't they teach you kids math anymore?

[learnedtosmile]

And it's less than one, which was my point.

Unless there's another NYPD officer hanging around here. Captain Stacy is the only one I've met.

Sure poetry's going to help next time we're dealing with mutant monsters.

you know what they say about soothing the savage beast
or was that music

[puppydogeyes]

It was music.
William Congreve.
But the line's breast, everyone just thinks it's beast.
Neither would've worked.

There are people aboard who aren't literate. I'm going to read your post to them before I reply.

[And he does. He reads the free verse as though it were prose, because to Anders, poetry is rhyming or alliterative, in some metrical form or other, and he assumes that the spacing of Keller's post is merely an artifact of the communicator.]

Thus ends the message. I've only got one thing to say to it, really:

What sort of place do you come from, that the presence of law enforcement officers would actually make you feel safer?

Zoom. Right over their heads. Does it make it more fun or less fun, I wonder?

As well you should. The more people empowered to keep order, the more orderly this place will be, and the less we'll all have to fear.

[blunted]

who says the order they're keeping is the best thing?

Cop baiting, really?

Just because the bulls are here and ready to flash their badges doesn't mean we can't be careful. [ Not that Brendan doesn't trust the police, no not at aaaaaallll. ]

[blunted]

how much weight can those badges really carry up here
