convicted / it is / what it is: / a separate issue / that's what comedians are for / Eddie Murphy please curse / I am a futile hostile wasteland / my roommate found my hair on his fork / with his ramen / in his mouth / my tangles / my name is Jim Carrey / I am an organic word salad / with brightened textuality dressing / (I am sitting in a dark) / room / looped and distorted / recording recording / over the same recording / since brains love / to find patterns / this one is just like that one / N.2 / C.0 / it's hard to kill the darlings / the edits / so crucial / the last bit / it took me a long time to get used to me / I left my
altar / at the fiance / feel like ranting / I went on a / great / date / but his hand / on my stomach said / do you even think a baby would fit in there / so tiny / I wonder if my foot / would fit / up his ass / would my soccer trophy make a better statement / I hear my feminism / affects men / you don't like me / in your skin / do you / cornered in the train / by an L shape / of men / my view / the train zig / zagged criss / crossed / gave that dog / a bone / er / I stuck around the corn / er / MEAN PUPPY / est. 1994 what stop / ROCK ROBBING GO OK / no hold / doors / what stop is this / can't see / it's kingston headhitarm / her heels are gold / tip / tap / covered / blue beret / do you need a free swipe / blue sky
