Cold Call 2

Hello?

Hey yo, it's me. How you doin', bro?

Yo, I got this cold. I've been blowing chunks all day and my head feels like it's 'bout to explode.

Oh damn, man. Are you sure it's just a cold? 'Cause there's this SARS bug goin' around and you never...

Look, I know. It aint like I don't watch the news too. And besides, it's not cold symptoms. They're worrying about the flu.

...true.

Yeah, anyway. What's up with you?

Oh, just wanted to know if you could come out Friday... Wait, how'd you get sick?

Happened last night. Went out with this chick. We went to Mickey D's and I ordered a sundae with some cherries in it.

The cherries were rotten?

Nah, they got caught in my throat and freezed up my noggin. This dude ordered a cheeseburger without cheese. I thought that was funny, but before I could laugh, I started to choke. I thought that was my last sundae, man. No joke.

Word, that reminds of this lady who ordered three double quarterpounders with cheese with three supersize fries, a Caesar salad, and three apple pies. I thought she was buying food for her and her folks, but get this: she ate it all and washed it down with diet coke.

Yeah, Americans are fat. We're always eating, thinking that anything "diet" will trim us down just like that. Man, I'm sick of this crap. How blind can we be? Anybody on TV can say "this is tasty and fat free," then we take the bait, thinking we'll loose weight, blow up our bellies, and lose sight of our knees.

All this talk about grub is makin' me hungry.

Hey yo, I'm serious, bro! We're being brainwashed and it's so obvious, but nobody knows.

No, don't get me twisted. I know what you're talking about, but it's not like everyone's heads are in the clouds. It's just that no one has had the guts to raise their fist and jump down.

Word, either they're too lazy or too proud. No one does nothin'. It's just something that they just talk about... so what's goin' down Friday?

Oh, I hooked up with this girl from around the way. We're goin to a party at NY State. I also got you a fly date and- Hold up, my pager's vibratin'... okay, like I was sayin': Friday, NY State, fly date. Can you make it?

Nah, I can't go. These meds got me shootin' soup out my asshole. Yo, maybe it's something worse than SARS and not a cold. But anyway, you go on and have fun alright?

Man, I think I just lost my appetite...

Wait, aint New York still code red?

What? Now you're trippin' off of what the news said? Talk about being a zombie and hypocrisy. That bug has gone to your head. Besides it's not in NY City, it's actually Oswego State University.

You can never be too safe during times with terrorist activity.. but you're right. It's just that I didn't get any sleep that night. Man, I even cried.

Yeah, so many died. But that's what they want--to fuck up our minds and poison us with fear inside. Now everyone's running scared from false threats and lies.

Word, even the UK and US are doing that now, trading blood for oil, cash, and British pounds.

Yeah, no one has had the guts to raise their fist and stand ground.

Word, either they're too lazy or too proud. No one does nothin'. It's just something that they just talk about...

Hey, I'll talk to you next time.

Alright. I'm out.
