Goodness, that fire alarm has been going off for quite a while now

But, we haven't budged. It's been going off for over a hour now.
It goes off about once a week, at this point if it doesn't, we start to worry. None of the neighbors have reacted to it either. We all pretend that everything is normal, we just shout our conversations and turn the volume on the TV way up. It's like we're all saying, in one beautiful, collective voice, "Fuck you fire alarm, fuuucccck you!"

But boy'll my face ever be red if this place really is on fire. Or maybe it'll be sooty. Or burnt off. Then I can live out my girlhood dreams and join a freak show in the deep South. Always look on the bright side of life.
