Will there ever be a mukbang with members of
the privileged class showcasing their payolas?
We strum in the expanse of fantasy as accepting
authority is the axis of orbit. We inhale poesy as
a placebo. It arms us with a sense of bravado,
like many who seek comfort in firewater as pot-
valiant plays its part.
