She deploys the regimes of daily light
The ablutions contact lenses shoes on the kid
Snarky putz Buck Mulligan made it a joke
But you don’t have to be a naysayer to register the superfluity
When you install distraction and call it forget fullness
Adopt oblivion like the calls of a life coach
Take up the position of the broken butterfly
Who flutters by as if to say what you didn’t know couldn’t hurt you

But once you start down that path you’re locked in
For you must insist upon insensibility not only to your own pain
But also to that of everybody else
Because contrary to popular nihilistic belief
It hurts when you see somebody suffer
So as quickly as you can
Before they twist the wheel another notch
Cry pineapple pineapple pineapple
