How to make nonsense out of bitter citrus fruits Leave them be, already a font of nonsensical egg yolks You do this for yourself, your own self, and no other self Endure another fortnight daliance, you dance forthrightly Absorb information like paranoia The facts are lying in bed with an orange banana How to make something lasting in a world cursed with impermanence It cannot be done. It simply cannot be done. The length of a breadbasket will often determine the size of the loaf The ratio of meat to potatoes makes nonsensical lemonade The worst kind...worse than the worst This document is not intended for distribution during the lifetime of the author Only with his passing disseminate expecting sympathy for the old poet's story, how rarely it truly changes The ingredients for the above mentioned nonsense have been properly proportortioned and mixed per instruction Take a wiff, you can smell the sweet aroma of their baking vapor As a child I ate spoonfuls of baking powder The aroma certainly saturates the proceedings Almost intoxicating how it smacks your heart with nostalgia The stupid cartoons, the National Lampoon stolen from the convenience store you hung out in Out in, Out in, Out in, Out in, Out in, Out in, Out in, Out in, Out in That, my friend, is the beginning from the end That, my foe, is the bleedin' end of the road I'm in Ian Curtis' voice, deadening repetion Day in Day out, Day in Day out, Day in Day out, Day in Day out, Day in Day out Ding, Ding, the timer in the kitchen chimes it's melancholy ring The nonsense is at this present moment complete Ready to serve, ready to eat and please don't choke on my words, I'm half asleep
