The first step is the hardest
one foot in front of the other into the darkness,
but it could be a key.
It could be the first one pressed to the next to the next
until vowels and consonants form a resignation letter
and an "ISO moving boxes."
Step 1: Reach a breaking point (probably by accident).
Step 2: Let yourself break.
Step 3: Book a U-Haul and get the hell out of there.
No additional guidance needed;
some things just figure themselves out.

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.
