*
I was thiknin'
Why do I always need to reorder lists
So that heavier, or worse things
Follow the lesser ones, as in:
"disappointment and tragedy"
vs.
"tragedy and disappointment"
It's like—Disappointment?! Pft, we have tragedy here, man!
I wonder, would I have this proclivity
If I were from another country
Then I think
Nah
I'd be hangin' in that forest
A haiku stapled to my tie
