about
A little ditty about people who act like they're listening but they're not fuckin' listening. And about how they can go fuck themselves. Also about email.
lyrics
I wrote an email that I thought was fine.
I wrote an email that I thought made sense.
I separated with divider lines,
Bolded the headers and even indented it.
I wrote an email and you hit reply
And wrote a number of your notes in blue
Type by one of my divider lines
Said, “I’m hoping that you’ll find this helpful.”
Threw both my arms up in the air again.
Crank neck side-to-side.
It’s all I talked about for a day again.
Enter, return, patronizing fuck.
If you listened, would you hear me?
If you listened, you could hear me.
I can hear you sighing.
If you listened, there’d be no problem;
Probably sleep all night.
Rooster beeping at the crack of dawn.
Magically all the feeling’d gone.
Tension headache from the black abyss.
Sense memory inefficacious.
Wrote another email where I disregarded
The cycle of tumult that your email started.
I only said, “Thank you for all of your feedback!”
Graceful, with much tact. Sincerely, the Sad Sack
Who threw both their arms up in the air again.
Let it seep through cracks.
That couldn’t separate from the work again.
Lower shoulders, breathe in, have a laugh.
If you listened, would you hear me?
But you don’t, and so from now on:
Not bothering telling you my plans.
If you listened, you would hear me. If you listened.
But if not, I can’t engage and hope you understand.
