Shouldn't cross the street here but you relent Shouldn't cross the wires but you relent Upgrade-eligible and you capitulate Rose gold septum clicker and you relent, relent relent A stroll down the timeline and you relent Another offer of credit and you relent Great deal on a Ruger and you capitulate Just a couple of drinks with the girls and you relent, relent, relent Not supposed to wear that but you relent Not supposed to act that way and you relent Not supposed to talk to her and you capitulate Not supposed to like him and you relent, relent, relent Said you'd never do drugs but you relent They got your order slightly wrong and you relent Electronic service requested and you capitulate Just a hunting trip with the boys and you relent, relent, relent Not feeling it but you relent About to go in dry and you relent Could carry to term and you capitulate Can't ask mom for help and you relent, relent, relent Help wanted at the burger joint Public assistance application and you relent Not on speaking terms and you capitulate Could fill the tank with premium and you relent, relent, relent A microaggression, a microcelebrity A microorganism and microencephaly A microtransaction and you capitulate A micronutrient supplementation and you relent, relent, relent, you relent, you relent

Mutual Aid 05:50

Gave a nephew's girlfriend a kiss on the mouth Gave a daughter's boyfriend a tug-job Met a cousin's partner behind the garage Installed a new glory hole for grandpa Pole could use a buffing Didn't make me a fool for nothing Hose could use a scrubbing Didn't make me a fool for nothing Open bottle of bleach in the doghouse Eviscerated in front of my parents Eviscerated in front of my boss Eviscerated in front of my allies Eviscerated in front of the judge Gave a niece's husband a kiss on the mouth Gave a son's estranged wife a rimjob Found a cousin's partner under the Thanksgiving table Found a brother bare-assed and choked by a cable Pole could use a rubbing Didn't make me a fool for nothing Hose could use some loving Didn't make me a fool for nothing Discovered shards of glass in the litter box Eviscerated in front of my parents Eviscerated in front of my boss Eviscerated in front of my allies Eviscerated in front of the judge Hold your best friend's paw as he passes on Crawled up Kropotkin's beard and now he's gone

Hydrate flush aliment clean up Categorize objects define the terms Gather evidence enumerate concerns Make connection Feel the loss Practice skill Quell the thoughts Travel wide Study hard Earn a check Ponder stars Have a moment Weave a spell Catch a shadow Never tell Succumb to cruelty Take the red pill Flash a membership card Die on that hill Froth in rage Plunder treasury Ignore the context Ignore the history Repeated often enough Becomes truth in your head Fourscore and three Years ago wasn't me

Sharing Salt 05:19

In the midst of the ancients Sacred rites and prayers Meditate on a candle To them, ours, and us, theirs Everyday sharing salt and breaking bread Demands collapse into the ground state instead Brain mistakes the discomfort with the dread Veins bursting and eyes gone infrared In the wastes of the alpha Football and the biscuit Meditate on an orange Like you never existed Everyday sharing salt and breaking bread Demands collapse into the ground state instead Brain mistakes the discomfort with the dread Veins bursting and eyes gone infrared In the spring of ourselves Grasp the outstretched arm Meditate on the grip Benzodiazepine-charmed Everyday sharing salt and breaking bread Demands collapse into the ground state instead Brain mistakes the discomfort with the dread Veins bursting and eyes gone infrared On the last day on Earth Shrugged a crown of flowers Meditate on an iron star To them, theirs, and us, ours Everyday sharing salt and breaking bread Demands collapse into the ground state instead Brain mistakes the discomfort with the dread Veins bursting and eyes gone infrared

An aggregate confused with constituents A whole placenta dried and powdered AN automatic payment to your energy provider A solipsistic table on which all else sits Mistook the forest for a cradle of lichen Mistook the mountain for a mote of dirt Mistook the river for a hissing droplet Mistook the economy for a pipelayer tread If you like gas so much then why don't you marry it If you're so against it will you junk your oven You can put a sign with a slogan in front of your house You can enroll in graduate school for materials science The grin of a child with no clean water The grin of a repo man towing away your car The grin of a college student who thinks they know everything The grin of a shithead off to colonize Mars Elicit proposals to retrain the workers Self-driving trucks pushing millions on the dole Congratulations for your disruptive ingenuity Deepest condolence for your foreclosed home Left the motel, bussed to the jobsite Met with resistance, met with police force Unauthorized entry but slipped right under Front-row tickets to watch whiteness work We're supposed to be better, we're supposed to be getting better We're supposed to be smarter, we're supposed to be getting smarter We're supposed to be stronger, we're supposed to be getting stronger We're supposed to leave that fucking bullshit in the ground The future's gonna be full of bugs The future's gonna be full of shitheads The future's gonna provide a lot of downtime The future's gonna be hard to digest

Oh look I'm stymied by my bad habits But I'm willing to practice Treating myself with respect Oh look I'm not a perfect person But I'm a good enough version Whom I love and accept

Took out the recycling but left the stove on Feeling languid and kitchen's slipshod Bashful glance at bullet journal Demure dead bedroom that's not the kernel No peace at home or work or bar, exasperation Great proposal for a novel calculation A politicker in square-toed shoes is looking on Define define define define define the problem Hose to valve, valve to cryostat sensor Fulfill your life's work ahead of aggressive cancer Define the problem, obtain disbursement Pump to vacuum, let it ring Write down everything you know and start again Lock out tag out Lock out tag out Washed the dishes, fed the kittens When time comes to move out who gets to keep them Bashful glance at dry-erase board Demure dead bedroom that's not the import No peace at home or work or conference presentation Eureka moment for a final examination Those whom you've loved and lost at last and fast they run Define define define define define the problem Hose to valve, valve to cryostat sensor Fulfill your life's work ahead of aggressive cancer Define the problem, obtain disbursement Pump to vacuum, let it ring Write down everything you know and start again Lock out tag out In the world of the Lord In the land of wheat and divorce
