Cash down, hrs down, time down, V is down in the dumps. What did I expect? He got his name because I was down and hoping he would lead me out, somehow, some way. A lot of pressure. Now B’s “Up There.” My girl’s an angel. B Thought Up Virgil

Legacy 019 -B Thought Up Virgil-
Hey Dad,
It’s me, Baby B. Did you have a good day? Good day? Well, it’s only noon and has nothing to do with me.
Strange. When you would have to send me away for ‘this and that.” Yabbos? Seriously!
Daddy, is that what we’re calling them? I can’t say I like my potential future stepmom.
What? I didn’t like my Favorite Girl either, but I got over it, and she was like, my fav.
Anyway, before you get caught up in M Anime. Dad, I do not want to see that. There is V
I still remember the day you brought my little bro home—Archie before becoming Virgil.
Daddy, your head was everywhere. Was I sending you messages from the sky above, hmm
All the books you were reading were this: me reincarnated, reborn; could I be reanimated?
Zombie movies… just fathers trying to get a dog/son back.
“Pinch me, pinch me
‘Cause I’m still asleep
Please, God, tell me
That I’m still asleep.”

My father is an ARTIST, one for the BOOKS, a CREATIVE, a DOGDAD. And I could go on. But maybe it’s their turn. I mean I could go on about my Favorite Girl, forever and a day. You could be dancing with me in your arms, and a song pops into your head, oh Dad.
Remember to do that more with Virgil. Even if it’s something like “Calendar Girl,” as you think about writing “The Unfinished Archive.” Blades & Lilies, Cassandra + Lily today, right? Again, if you’re not too far gone with Miss M Anime. “Hey Jealousy” much ha-ha.
But it’s not what you think, Dad. Well, it is. But how do I “humansplain”? And it’s not like you don’t know. Maya and Tino…
“Do you know what I’m thinking?”
A Dog’s Purpose (2017)
When you think of how bad things are, like how the glow box always says, you have to think about the worst thing ever. Something you survived to keep on surviving…
Seriously, I’m not singing Destiny’s Child “Survivor.” You place my brother and me above
Everything and everyone! It’s what a father does. But we’re either that high or your lowest low. My death and practically anytime you look at Virgil. There’s no in between.
Past and future. That’s what we are. And we both unfortunately bring our father pain.
However, there is the present. Should I go all Ariana Grande Just Look Up? TWD?
“Just look up
There is no place to hide
True love doesn’t die
It holds on tight and never lets you go
Just look up
You cannot deny the signs
What you’ve waited for
Don’t wait no more
It’s right up above you
Just look up”
From, Just Look Up

Whatever! I only wish you look at yourself as I looked, Virgil, my fav, M Anime, B Thought Up Virgil.
