i’m not that deep i just have

fast internet access

i’m not smart i have worlds

at my fingertips and in front of me

i’m not pretty i’ve smashed a million mirrors

i’ll smash a million more eventually i will smash

every single mirror that ever existed

i will despoil the surfaces of ponds

and other misc. shiny things and places

i’m not happy it’s easier to smile

than it is to frown

turn that shit upside down

i’m neither follower nor leader

i’m not an enigma shaped quandary

i’m not clever but i can be quick

i’ve been called a cunt i know i’m a dick

i’m not careful i’m a walking talking cluster-fuck

of spastic calamity and morbid cluelessness

like the train carrying the dumpsters on fire

the dumpsters that were on fire on that train

it was the train with the dumpsters on fire

they were on fire those dumpsters on that train

and then that train with the dumpsters on fire

kinda’ crashed

like in the saying

or some other

similar analogy

urban legend

outright fib

pernicious lie

folk tale

local joke

or other
