to canvass

I knock on doors, i say the same thing each time, i write the same words, i use the word 'awesome' to a nauseating extent. i am a canvasser, not by choice, more like an act of fate. It is my density...destiny. I ask strangers for money for a cause I don't fully understand. i am turned down - constantly. i am not paid nearly enough for this, yet I am overpaid. i respond like a sine wave: huge money day or i should have just stayed in bed. where are the transitions zones? i am a canvasser, but i was manic/depressive-esque first, so that tendency takes priority and then takes control.

i believe this is democracy in action. i think about this very little because if i think to long, well, the first rule of canvassing is you stick to the script. we require immediate satisfaction, we do not ask questions of such things. we educate the public. tell me week one canvasser, what are the effects of toluene on the endocrine system? It's bad, here's why and I agree.

we make money. that is what we do. we are capitolists with a cause. the causality is intense, the goals are high, the words are memorized.

i am a canvasser. i canvass. help me. just say yes. dear diety, say yes.
