Why is love so wildly impractical?

Why do we act all funny~freaky~fanatical?

Why can’t I find joy in being a monk instead?

Or, maybe strap me to some insane asylum bed!

Brainwash me so I just forget it all,

I’d pay an anesthesiologist to do a number on me,

making me numb-er all over.

One, two, three…

no more inconveniences of feelings from myself.
