Programmed to Perfection

a poem

I've programmed myself to perfection
I always know just how to sound
I know what to think, and I know what to feel
And I love myself, yes, pound for pound

I know how to deal with rejection
I've learned how to turn it around
It's not 'I'm not wanted' it's 'I do not want'
And I pick myself up off the ground

When I'm on the brink of depression,
I know how to get myself back
Meditate, medicate, count to eight, masturbate,
And fresh as a daisy on crack

Whenever my mind starts to wander
Wishing I was much smarter or younger
Or fishing for porn until five in the morn
To satiate sexual hunger

I've learned to accept it and take it in jest
I give me a ribbon that says 'you're the best!'
I crank up the juke box to early Madonna
And play 'Celebrate' to replenish my fauna
I jump up and down and get into the groove
Then upload my cute little jig to youtube

I sit as I wait for that sweet affirmation
That gushes and hushes my fears
More tender than meet, as addictive a treat
As I've tasted in all of my years.

Oh, this is really sweet! Stephen Sondheim with an edge! Turn this into a musical and you'll sell out. Really... I see you on the stage, whether a small smoky one or playing to a grand throng. Your fans can't wait.

yes, i think youre tapped in to essential rhythms, waltzes and jigs, "cabbages celery 3beats, rutabaga, watermelon, 4"..dance is the mother of poetry, keep going, dance on the grave (low spirits) and the grim
