Flippa-Coin-Deity
CONGRATULATIONS!
(let moi be the first)
word on the street is you got a
solution to all your problems
yeah, word on the street is
you found a way to feel comfortable in the
most horrible situations
yupper, word on the street is
you got a deity that will answer you
50% of the time when you
press your little hands together &
close your little eyes,
yes, word on the street is,
you get what you want when ya flip
that coin &
you know it’s got NOTHIN’ to do with
puh puh puh puhhhh
probability---
nah, it’s all about the new deity in your life!
yes, word on the street is that you found a new
special someone,
someone that’ll never ever leave you
(um, can’t because they were never there in the first place)
someone you can talk to at night
(um, if talkin’ to yourself fits the bill, then by all means, knock yourself out)
someone who will answer your
“prayers”
half the time that you ask for something
(and that just delights, that just makes one run amok with “the answer”),
word on the street is
if you’re so possessed with wanting to know the outcome
you spend your time flipping coins &
word on the street is,
in doing all this you end up just as clueless as somebody
who never flipped a coin in the first place.
