Muff Sadness Masker 3000

I've had real human emotions w/ a relative this week.. someone very close to me

someone else,
one of my deceased relatives, formerly an overseas resident,

i have one of his old books.

it's like "100 years of The Onion".
pictures and words.

It's not a sentimental thing.

I can't look at it because I'm better than those writers.
I swear to God.

But I'm different now.
I'm older. I'm human.
People are more important than words.
Even me.
