 Alienation

written by James Merendino

Stevo: Whoa, time out. I just wanna ask you real quick, if I can. You believe in rebellion, freedom, and love, right. You two are divorced, so love failed. Two, Mom, you're clinging to any kinda scrap of Eastern religion that can justify why the above said love failed. Three, Dad, you're a slick, corporate, preppy-ass lawyer, I don't really have to say anything else about you, do I, Dad? Four, we move from New York City, the mecca and hub of the cultural world to Utah, nowhere, to change nothing, more to perpetuate the cycle of money, greed, facism, and triviality when your movement of the people, by the people and for the people got you nothing. You just hide behind your lost sense of sex, drugs, rock n roll. Ooh, kum-bye-ya. I am the future. I am the future of this great nation which you father so arrogantly saved this father for. Look, I have my own agenda. Harvard, out. University of Utah in. I'm gonna get a 4.0 in damage. I love you guys, don't get me wrong. It's all about this. But for the first time in my life, I'm 18 and I can say, screw you.
