My Cardboard Balcony

by Belinda Roddie Blurg. The sound of a sunrise with a serious hangover. How do you like your mimosas now, you celestial creep? This week's prompt was provided by Arden Roddie.

Tell me why you want to try to be a rapper. Tell me what kind of beats you'll mix. Tell me how you're going to build your fanbase. Tell me all of your tips and tricks. I've never heard you utter a syllable. Is the only way you can do it? You stand on the stage and verbally rage and froth at the mouth like there's nothing to it. Tell me why you want to try to be a rapper. Is it your last attempt at communication?
