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! Submit to repetition

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

Neurology 03:18
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
