Play It Cool
A Cool Demeanor
Is A Novelty Form
Of Conformity.
*
Oh, I Forget, You
All Don't Hate That
Dread
Conformity Like
I've Been Forced
To Do.
Doodily-Doo.
Not Forced.
I'll Think About It Later!
*
I Haven't Been Normal
Since My Teacher
Demanded I Put Things In
My Own Words.
I'm Still Not Sure
What That Means.
NOT Gibberish.
I Just Pull A
Few Levers And
Hope For The Best.
Wahoo! Let's Take This
Uhhhh... Gfdhg Ride.
*
I Make Sure To Make Sure To:
Don't Get Too Many
Detailed Ideas From
Anywhere Else...
Just The Gist.
Then Let It Roll
Out Slow.
Stay In Flux.
*
I Don't Know...
Why Hate All The
Alternatives Of Con-
Form-ity?
Dumb Trick.
How Do You Stay Impressed
And Always Amazed
With Random New-Found
Wonder If You Do?
*
I Can't Pay Attention
And Conform At The
Same Time.
It's Probably Just
A Convenience Again
And Everybody Else Is
Fine With It.
*
Cool With It,
I Mean.
Oops.
