We led a tireless revolt against the old ways. Shopping carts violently overturned in a glorious explosion of sliced ham and tampons. Those who were rude to us were banished to the back of the line to think about what they had done. There was even a virtuous mutiny among us. We rejected our leaders who bound us to “policy” as opposed to common sense, shrieking a beautiful cry of freedom, unmistakably human. Our voices were raised with our fists. We cheered equality, love, friendship, loyalty, and the dynamic human spirit that refuses to submit.
And the response was confused: What do you want?

“SHIT,  GUYS!” We shouted.
“We just want you to be good to each other.”

But, they couldn’t hear us over the gnashing of their teeth, their mouths already full of complaints.
