[Arrest Me Now]

by mariagrace

Today, I just forged someone’s signature. I won’t tell who and I won’t tell why. Let me just say that I did. And I feel kinda stealthy about it. You know, sticking it to the Man. When you forge someone’s signature, you kinda hafta think about “pen pressure” and “topping off.” This person’s signature wasn’t too scrolly, but damn my hand, my forgery was. When you want to make your hand breezy, it just doesn’t. Especially when your hand is under pressure, you just want to go with the flow and sign that paper with flourish, it just can’t. In your head you’re thinking about making sure your forgery doesn’t go too far off the line. And, of course, your mindset becomes that of the person you’re forging. Why did you decide to write your name like this? I wonder. And why is it so damn hard to copy? Let’s just say, hopefully he gets it, and I get my cut from it.
