hi, this is alice. 

hey noa, write me a poem. 

"why?"

because you're deep, and all that stuff. 

"i am?"

yes. so please write one for me. 

"well your wish is my command"

(giggles)

"this is a haiku 

but what does this even mean?

well who the hell cares... "

...

(noa bursts out laughing)

" ha. ha. ha. nice one noa." 

(noa continued laughing.)

" fine. i'm going to hang up"

no wait. alice. fine.

...

 "dear alice,

to freeze remedy in ice

you might need the world to cry

some blood sugar coated lies

so that our dubious eyes

will fall in love with the enemy

a psychopath, an enmity

to love no one 

and hate everyone

was our human condition 

with prideful addition"

wow noa. that was -

"bullshit? yeah, i know."

no noa. that was bloody brilliant. 

"don't kid yourself alice. you get nothing sucking up"

oh, so there was no chocolate prizes for complimenting the almighty noa?

"why would i give them to you when i can eat them all by myself?"

get old and fat noa. 

"i still would be hella attractive"

good night noa. and for the record, i really like your poem. 

"oh alice -"

shut up noa. i liked what i heard. it's called magic, you muggle.
