Cheer up! The body mirrors deprivation;
Fatigue is darkly writ beneath your eyes.
I wish to give you rest and motivation,
But introversion smothers all my tries.

For wisps of twisted worship–

Remember that time when you told me to wash the dishes?
Well, instead
I threw them away, borrowed your credit card and bought new ones.

Of the boy with hedgehog hair
Who always wears a turtleneck
And hugs like koala bear.
One zebra stripe or leopard fleck
And we’d have the whole zoo to feed!

You said to never speak again of fate.
Laugh, cachinnation, laugh, cachinnation, laugh!
Only to set up bound’ries that you hate.
