Struggling fit

Struggling to
adapt to civilian 
life, a decorated ex-
clown finds love, revenge 
and a sense of peace in the arms
of a reformed coulrophobe, that's 
an anti-clown bigot like a racist,
except the jokes are allowed to
be funny. Struggling to adapt
to civilian life, a decorated
ex-squirrel 

no, 

squirrel
finds love, revenge
and a sense of peace in
a suddenly discovered cache
of nuts! - Some dumb squirrel's 
nut-stash! Jackpot! Actually it was
its own stash,
forgot

about it.
Struggling to adapt 
to civilian life, a decorated
ex-interior decorator never was 
anything but a civilian so, 
come on,
buddy. What's the deal?
Can't hang? Struggling
to adapt 

can
be hard. 
Civilian life 
is no exception
- an environmental 
niche with its own 
challenges and 
survival 

pressures.

So have some fucking pity, 
huh? Can you imagine being 
an interior decorator and 
having to live outside? 
On the streets? Not 
that this one does. 
Got a shitty little 
apartment, so
damn nice 
inside, 
though. 
You would not believe.
