It Speaks!
It speaks because it has finally reached, gotten settled into, and is ready to face, Bigtime Reallife College. It speaks because it feels like it. It speaks because it needs to say something or go mad. It speaks because Orientation Week isn't even over yet and there has already been an attempted rape on campus. It speaks because this is unacceptable. It speaks because it wants to speak, and nothing will stop it from speaking. It speaks because it cannot sleep. It speaks because it is glad that we're reading King Lear, not Tidus Antronicus. It speaks because it is angry. It speaks because it is glad that it wakes up every morning to a picture of a phoenix where most would place their crucifix. It speaks because it has had it up to here with people telling it not to speak. It speaks because it has the right to speak. It speaks because it has nothing to say.
