I think she will be waking soon,
seeing as it’s almost noon.
Everything
I love the smell of fall almost as much as spring.
But in the spring there’s asparagus and rhubarb,
and in the fall there’s everything!
Wow
Your first word was “wow!”
Let’s keep that going somehow.
Back
Our internet is back
and faster than before.
This thing could change your life.
But it cannot give you more.
Under Pressure
Let the pressure build,
let the pressure build,
let the pressure build!
I do my best work
under pressure.
Plan out what you would say if you only had the chance,
then waste your only chance.
And tell your self that no one ever listens,
no one ever listens to your silent rants.
Let the pressure build,
let the pressure build,
let the pressure build!
I do my best work
under pressure.
Make a list and check it zero times
until the day that everything is due.
And stay busy enough all that time before
to convince yourself that they did this to you.
Let the pressure build,
let the pressure build,
let the pressure build!
I do my best work
under pressure.
Scatter all your clothes across the floor
and stack all of your dishes in the sink
and christen it a cosmic cleaning party
when you finally clean it up so you can think.
Let the pressure build,
let the pressure build,
let the pressure build!
I do my best work
under pressure.
Find thirty books that you would like to read
and check them out yourself all at one time
and read them while you listen to an audiobook
like it’s a race to fill up your whole mind.
Let the pressure build,
let the pressure build,
let the pressure build!
I do my best work
under pressure.
And someday take a break and just sit down
and think about how life has been so crazy.
And realize this has only been a warm-up
and now it’s time to really be amazing.
Let the pressure build,
let the pressure build,
let the pressure build!
I do my best work
under pressure.
let the pressure build,
let the pressure build!
I do my best work
under pressure.
Thrown Out
You threw off someone’s bell curve
because you were just too perfect.
And so they threw you out.
Out onto the internet.
And you who were the ninety-ninth percentile
got pinned there,
forever,
and everyone who saw you thought you were
someone’s normal.
They forgot that you were only there
because you threw off the bell curve.
Rice and Beans
Even rice and beans aren’t free,
and neither one grows on trees.
