He calls it "the weave"
when asked a question,
he talks about something
"tremendously important"
that he dreamed about the night before
and tells us things he saw on television
that he imagines are real:
cannibals and giant insects from Mexico;
pre-schoolers given million dollars surgeries during recess
and healing instantly with superhero powers
but he insists it's all true
and some part of a conspiracy
to stop him becoming
King of America.
