"You know what you did wrong there, don't you?" I said.
"Did nuthin wrong," Riz snorted.
"When the interviewer asked how we work together so well despite #clashing. That part?"
"Nope."
"It's where you replied. 'He does wat I tell 'im'. Remember?"
"Maybe..."

Riz demands that Brennan check out his costume, revealing that he's decided to dress as Brennan. A furious Brennan, in turns threatens to dress up like Riz, which the rat doesn't like too much

#clash
the sound as a C,
salt in your mouth
waves sinking waves
eyes inside we
stars sinking stars
mouth sinking mouth-

darkness fizzes
thunder tecton

a wash a lash
skin is a sigh
soft cl-ose

Never having been his associate
Nor wanting to associate with him
A man with so little integrity
There’d be no reason to begin
Yet for the second time
He’s been put back in charge
As a puppet for the fa$ci$t right
Ruining America writ large
