To build. To rebuild. To improve. To upgrade efficiency. To keep the belly full. To entertain. To please. To conquer. To dominate. To cover up. To forge. To softly point the finger. To slowly remember. To play both fields. To fence sit. To not take action. To close your eyes. To forget. To new narratives. To finding new enemies. To morphing. To the back of the class. To non conformation. To build. To rebuild. To cover up. To conquer. To dominate.
