He's surely kick an arse or two.
That's what Brian Boitano'd do.

I wonder if cats spent a billion years
Exposed to humans
Would they become sentient?
I wonder what cat humor would be like
Abstract thinking
Metaphors
Religion

I'm the only person I know
That watches cartoons in Norwegian
I don't understand much of it

Bitcoins and TOR
Conspiring to help me
Accomplices to accomplishments
Hush-hush undertaking

Once there was a man
He was humbly independent
One year he had a modest harvest
His barn was half full
His hungry neighbors asked for some
He gave what he could
Everyone had enough food

He was proudly conservative
One year he had a large harvest

His hungry neighbors asked for some
He refused so he could conserve
He had so much most of it rotted

is the side of the same coin
as Dialectical Materialism

Old age is freedom.
Embarrassment vanishes.
Just as farts diffuse.

Digging for boogers.
Loudly farting and laughing.
Coffee shop annoyance.

You may think it's gross.
But it keeps the wife away.
And thus I have peace.

Sometimes I think about a person
I haven't seen in years

Sometimes it's awkward
Sometimes it's nice

I've got my eye on the moon
She never lets me down
I love her

Who needs belief
When you have direct experience
I have food you don't know about
Had to go out on the roof to get it
Tripped but I didn't fall
I flew
Saw things from above
Still stuck down here though

Can't help it
My ancestors were genocidal
Like father like son
Apple doesn't fall far from the tree
Unless planted on a hill
But I think I'll be peaceful
Vote for me
I probably won't kill everyone
That'll be my campaign slogan
"I PROBABLY WON'T KILL EVERYONE"

100,000 tons of plastic in the ocean
Missionaries told me they don't care
God will take care of it

Replenish the earth
Maybe they were actually Satanists

Don't worry God WILL take care of it

So there I was
Listening to multiple conversations at the same time
Semantic saturation is when everything sounds like gibberish unless its musical
The church bell rang out the time
All conversation stopped
Deja vu
Uncomfortable realization of mortality
A public epiphany
And then they start talking again like nothing happened
The private dream can become public myth

I'd much rather surf
than write a fucking haiku,
but, like, whatever.

I might have cancer.
Or a nasty hemorrhoid.
Time for a check up.

For now I'll live life.
I'd love me some pot brownies
or ganja goo balls.

If it is cancer,
I'll go whoring and drinking
and take lots of drugs.
