t-"please get off me"
Could you please not step on my back? That's the line running down the center of my body. That line is the raft equivalent of the spine. How would you like it if I stepped on your spine? Would you flatten your back out and keep on rowing? I doubt you'd be strong enough. You humans are real softies, all extra fat in all kinds of unnecessary places. Does it help you to have thighs? Does it make you stronger to have a soft belly which spills over your jeans? You could be a teddy bear, a jelly fish. Ah. That's my shoulder. No. Not there. Not your just unbalanced. Watch out. Soon we will flip and I will have no kind words for you. I will drift away, find myself a more balanced client, maybe a bear, or heck. Loneliness is underrated. I may just drift into a abbey and let the current lap up on my feet. The waterfall, that would also be a good option. Sail down it and if it breaks me, I'll split into baby rafts perfect for fishes to jump, birds too.
