“There are marijuana seeds in this rug, the place is full of them. The rug crackles like popcorn when I walk, who planted these seeds in this rug, and why aren’t they watered? Now… yes… there is a project, tend the crops, soak this rug like a drenching rain, some kind of tropical downpour… good for the crops, keep the ground damp and prune the leaves every other day.
