Firstly,

I must apologize

If I seem to be in too much of a rush.

For you see, being this close to father

has some slight disadvantages.

I can't really say anything about myself.

I am the closest to him, so literally

every

single

move

I make

Is being scorched by his judgement.

I guess you can't say I'm much of an airhead.

Maybe an air-less head is more accurate.

So I really have no protection from his scorn

or the attacks of those occasional suicide bombers.

My, how much they've scarred me...

Regardless if I run at a pace

that matches my feverish skin,

I still somehow manage to have some points

where I can be calm, cool and collected.

Even if I am only seen as a star to you

Either being followed by father

or chasing him

I'm not phased by it at all!

Just know that your little brother

Mercury sees you

while on his eighty-eight day

jog.
