certain
Certainly not.
Drop the plot! It happened such a long time ago.
Doubt is behind you. Only forward. Stake your life on it. Just draw the curtain.
You know nothing is certain. Just ascertain the best and grieve for the rest.
Stop.
Go draw.

clip
I cannot clip my vowels. You know that. Dropping a consonant is fine, just don’t ask me to fake an accent. Passing myself off as someone else? Well I could. I could pretend I was you.
