CASUAL MISCOMMUNICATION OVER PIE

You’re such a fucking

Idiot! Ugh! I love you,

But shut your pie hole

DRAWING CONCLUSIONS FROM MY WINDOW

In sunrise squirrels

Chirp and Caw and Rustle and

Brawl for the street nuts

G.O.A.L.S. - GENERAL ORDINARY AUTOMATED LEARNING SYSTEM

Listen up, class is

About to begin after

These quick messages

HOSTAGE NEGOTIATION PHONE CALL NEXT DOOR

Hello? Hello? I

Can’t tell if you’re a robot

Scammer or my son

LATE ESSAY ALL NIGHTER

Stressing a lack of

Time, to boil coffee water

Instead I wait here

MODERN AMERICAN LATE PASS

Even the teacher

Was tardy, the day after

A mild mass shooting

THE MODERN AMERICAN GETTING OF TAIL

Oooh ooh aah aah reach

Around the monkey, grab the

Base tight, up - down - repeat

THE SHRINKAGE FACTORS

I was in the pool

Jerry. Shrinkage! Jerry it

Was shrinkage I swear.

WHEN SOMEONE WON’T STOP

Talking and talking

And talking, and you almost

Ditch society

The Art of Trauma

To excavate this

Foundation at its acme

Hold in the Rubble
