All the multifarious magic of the mind
Is no match for repetition
Burrow in your brain, I hope you don’t mind
You’re no match for repetition
Hooks and earworms and hookworms are parasites
Infectious repetition
All the multifarious magic of the mind
Is no match for repetition
Now we grant you a reprieve
Soften you up for the next dose
Let your receptors go fallow
While we sharpen the plow
All the multifarious magic of the mind
Is no match for repetition
Burrow in your brain, I hope you don’t mind
You’re no match for repetition
Hooks and earworms and hookworms are parasites
Infectious repetition
All the multifarious magic of the mind
Is no match for repetition
You cannot outwit the simple brute force
The truth of repetition
Seems so stupid but the power is supreme
The power of repetition
These garbage serenades won't biodegrade
Planting flags by repetition
Now it’s part of you for the rest of your life
All thanks to repetition
You cannot outwit the simple brute force
Seems so stupid but the power is supreme
These garbage serenades won't biodegrade
Now it’s part of you for the rest of your life
Again! Again!
Oh yeah!
Again and again!

Digitize and Discard

Never have opened the books
Never have opened the box
Now we’re boxed in by boxes
That we house in the house
All that we forage, de facto garbage
What is this exercise in storage?
What is this private museum?
Artifacts stashed where nobody sees them
Digitize and discard
Document and destroy
Digitize and discard
I find it sparks joy
Spend all the time on the phone
Spend all the space on the stuff
Spend all the money on the space
Spend none of the time on the stuff
Where are the things I actually use?
All on my phone, recalled at a word
Where is the stuff that’s not on a screen?
Buried in some closet, festooned with mouse turd
May we all be disabused
Of our sentimental material tangible
May we confess what’s increasingly true
May we streamline since we’re digital animals
Digitize and discard
Document and destroy
Digitize and discard
I find it sparks joy

A superhuman human is no match for a machine
He lost, but he died, according to the AI.
A superhuman human is no match for a machine
You will lose, but you will die, if it functions as advertised
John Henry won, but Kasparov lost to Deeper Blue
John Henry won, but he lost in version two

Do I want to think in terms of neurology?
Do I want to think in terms of serotonin?
Do I want to think in terms of melatonin?
Do I want to think in terms of oxytocin?
Do I want to think in terms of vasopressin?
Would that be a bit cold, a bit depressing?
Is it in my interest to be realistic?
To face chemistry, as it’s held to be?
Should my perspective be more scientific?
Am I being sentimental, even superstitious?

Perfection on tap at the automat
And the automat is at your door at a tap
Perfection on tap at the automat
And the automat is at your door in a snap
Perfection on tap at the automat
And the automat is at your door and it slap
Mix and match, add this, cut that
Any delectable bric a brac
Confection will spread from the automat
When you have the shakes
For two shakes in two shakes
Straight from the shack to your habitat,
The couriers micromobilize
Brave the lanes with knives
Before you order they arrive
From the automat
And while you wait,
A non-stop slo-mo series
Of ping pong blind
Backhand quadruple
Bank shots ineluctably
Gliding through the eye
Of the needle into the teacup
And there’s more!
Rust-encrusted relics exhumed
Acid-bathed
Wire-brushed
Burnished
Polished
Varnished
Beyond resurrection
Into gleaming glaring blinding
Spots float in my eyes,
And I know why
Ilana
Types the search term
“Medium-size penis”

The opposite of a memorably magnificent orgasm
That sunfire screaming up your body out your mouth
Is just the nervous system showing off
Look what it can do
It made me heel
It made me vow
I will comply now
Dare not defy now
How do I comply
When I don’t know the new rules?
New surprises keep me guessing
While I’m convalescing

I'm digging
I'm digging it
This unpaid work is personal
I'm digging
I'm digging it
I'm going deeper, and getting deeper
Excavating, earth-displacing
I do not find this boring boring
I've been chipping away my days
My wombat ways amaze
I’m gonna keep on repeating
Until it seems to have meaning
To me
I’m gonna keep on repeating
Until it seems to have meaning
To you
I’m gonna keep on repeating
Until it seems to have meaning
I’m gonna keep on repeating
Until it seems to have meaning
Persistence and insistence are beyond resistance
Succumb Stockholm-style and smile
