My fellow Americans,

We meet tonight for a discussion on a matter of the utmost gravity. As we begin this presidency, our nation faces a new threat that is critical to the longevity and prosperity of this nation.

My fellow Americans, I would like to talk to you about shoelaces.

For years my shoelaces have served me faithfully from my shopping trips to relaxing walks through a park to chasing after my shopping cart after it started rolling rapidly down a slope – these strings have been a critical part of the foundation of my everyday life. Perhaps I may also say that I would not have gotten here if it weren't for these shoelaces – oi fUCK stop hitting me I fucking get it no bad jokes.

Mouse broccoli red iron painting: I think I remember you talking about a film class once. What kind of film did you take it in?

It was about a young boy who looked after his pet mouse with affection while it grew up. I was really moved by it. I don't remember much about it, but I remember remembering and repeating the movie's title over and over again while crying when I was very young.

Mouse broccoli red iron painting: I just read a book where a bunch of kids are playing tag and one of them got kidnapped and the taggers all went to look for him except there were no clues in the house and they got confused and upset and kept getting yelled at by the parents and I've been thinking about it all day

Mouse broccoli red iron painting: and I think that if I had been one of those kids I too would have started feeling confused and lost, like, "I'm still a part of this game even though I can see it's not the same and no one cares if I'm there and I feel like I have no role because I can't see a way to be anything more than a single point that doesn't matter.

Mouse broccoli red iron painting: Also just realized that "mouse broccoli red iron painting" is itself a poem and wow that's just like I'm even more of a failure at everything.

Mouse broccoli red iron painting: "I'm even a failure at not being a failure."

Mouse broccoli red iron painting: "I fail at being me and I'm even a failure at not doing it."

Mouse broccoli red iron painting: "Being a failure is a talent, I guess."

Mouse broccoli red iron painting: "I'm even a failure at not talking like a poet."

Mouse broccoli red iron painting: "But what about being a failure at not being me?"

Mouse broccoli red iron painting: "Wait there's no bottom. Maybe I should start there. I have an idea."

I'm even a failure because I didn't want the mouse to be a failure and then I was a failure.

I'm even a failure because I have no idea how to play tag and I'm not even sure I believe in anything anymore and I'm a failure because I'm not sure if I believe in anything anymore.

Damn you *uses a reacher-grabber tool to pull you out*
