Buzz During Fright
The Brilliant Associate
-I just know they're culling the quiet ones. They read out an

-I'm saying nothing because I don't understand a thing anyone says.
I recognize that it's English, though.
-That's a start. Look! Learn the buzz words. When anyone looks to
you to say anything, spout!
-Such as?
-Well, prioritize always stays hot.
-As in Prioritize the remaining aggregate?
-That's inspired!

-Don't...buy the insaning domain!
-Better yet! You've been a slumbering genius.
Now, add something literary.
-For there are more things in heaven and earth

-You’re God-like! Recap the whole business!
-Nah! I'll puke! But I can vary things, right? Juggle ‘em around,
and with different intros? Bit of a joke here and there?
-That's where the Art comes in. Man! Instead of dead, you'll be
a Section Leader!
