Iran is on the menu again next to the daily special of existential dread.
I try to follow the news, but my toaster keeps making these weird noises
like it's translating
Iranian poetry.
The generals point at maps, their fingers become missiles. I wonder if they have
nightmares or if they dream of bigger offices with more important looking foam.
No war without rain.
No war without rain.
The very concept absurd.
Like trying to solve a math problem by setting your calculator on fire and
throwing it at the moon.
No war. I said no war without rain.
Sometimes I think about the people there going about their day, walking past buildings.
They show up as targets on somebody scream while I'm here worrying about my
hair.
If history was a person I'd sit them down in my yard. I'd say,
why do you keep repeating yourself?
Why do you keep repeating yourself? I said no war with
Iran.
No war with
Iran.
The very concepts of sir, like trying to solve a mess problem by setting
your calculator on fire and throwing it at the moon, said, no war.
No war with
Iran.
There's nothing left of the old world, we're just living in a loop.
There's nothing left of the old world, we're just living in a loop.
No war with
Iran.
No war with my imagination.
Just peace and confusion and my toaster speaking
