"Contestants in a suicidal race"

Paula Cole is a good one for a red eyed mascara running automobile episode of pain. Holding back in bumper to bumper traffic is getting harder and passing 7 miles of huge mansions of turning the other way and only wanting a tiny place of my own so you may dwell in my heart freely and Paula sings to me while i wear my own dusty chaps and shit covered boots, 'where have all the cowboys gone' and the eyes do decide to let it rip while my brothers hip hop their bassy trunks next to me at the red light of stopping and 4 feet away they can see thru their windows of light strangers crying at bustops and alike. catching someone crying in their car is not he same as catching them with their finger up their nose.
"and then, one Thursday, nearly two thousand years after one man had been nailed to a tree for saying how great it would be to be nice to people for a change, a girl sitting on her own in a small cafe in Rickmansworth suddenly realized what it was that had been going wrong in the world all this time, and she finally knew how the world could be made a good and happy place. This time it was right and no one had to get nailed to anything. Sadly, before she could get to a phone to tell anyone about it, a terrible stupid catastrophe occurred, and the idea was lost forever."

    I find this piece a little hard to read/follow, but I think you've got some very cool stuff to say.
