The One That Gets You
Okay, listen up. Right here. Right here. Listen to me for one second, okay? Okay? Listen, they’re getting me ready. I’m being loaded right now. I’m in the gun. They put me in the gun. Do you understand? Hello? They’re aiming. They’re aiming right at you. I’m pointed right at you. Man, they have a perfect bead on you. All adjusted for wind and everything. Just a few seconds to line it up, too. Real professionals. You don’t have long at all to do something, understand? Listen, buddy, they’re pulling the trigger. Whoa! Okay, here we go! I’m on my way. On my way. Here I come. I’m coming right at you. Here I am. This is the last chance. If you don’t do something right now, I’m gonna…!
Man, I sure am a massive girder. I can’t believe how high up they are lifting me with this crane. Way up. I mean, seriously, way the hell up. I’m tons of metal and they’re bringing me way up here on just a little, you know, a little chain thing. Just hanging there, swinging around. Listen up, down there, I think this chain isn’t going to hold me. You really want to move right about now. Understand? Get out of the way. I can feel some slippage. Gonna be on my way down any second now. Getting really loose up here. It’s getting… yeah, just about… Any moment… Whup! Yep, there it went. Busted. Now I’m coming down. Right at you from above. Right over your head. Better run before I…!
Aw, man, why you gotta come bother me? Don’t you see that I’m an explosive booby trap? I guess you don’t. You don’t even seem to notice me. Ain’t that always the way of it. You and me, we’re made for each other, but now that we’re together, it’s like I don’t even exist. Are you even hearing me? Don’t you get it, man? I’m the one. I’m the one for you. Here we are in the penultimate moments of your entire life and your thoughts are off somewhere else instead of paying attention to me. Makes me sad. Tragic. You’re always hearing, you know, that you never hear the one that gets you. What that saying conveniently neglects to consider is that you weren’t even listening in the first place.

For consideration: somewhere out there in deep space is a giant asteroid trying to talk to us through vacuum
