what stares back

i don’t look into the mirror for confirmation,
but i would like to see a smile, you know,
at least a couple of times a year,
so maybe you could talk to your boss and let ‘em know,
or not?

spotify’s algorithm

how do i get spotify’s algorithm
to stop recommending xmas music
for this entire month? 
perhaps i need to be the type of person
that just plays cannibal corpse
all throughout november and december

my shadow and me

i’m afraid of my own shadow,
but only on thursday,
the rest of the week
we’re the best of friends
