The Suzanne Effect

I purchased a digital camera at her suggestion
To impress her with my reproductive organs
Like all women, she was hot
and then she was cold.
The camera doesn't work anymore.

Uniquely Awful

Every human being is a unique snowflake
Terrible in his or her own way
In the appropriate manner
Befitting their experiences and abilities

Perhaps if we were to quantify demerit
Being naturally pessimistic,
I would find the glass half-empty after all.

The rut

The vehicle is something to look forward to at the point in your life when you have run out of things to look forward to. When you are falling gracefully toward adulthood this isn't the sort of thing you think about. There is still your first kiss, losing your virginity, your first job, and all sorts of other things to look forward to. Then at some point after I started looking back to find the point at which my life's derivative reached zero. Is this a mountain or a range? How long can mountain climbing maintain interest?

Chemicals

Every minor event can become a catastrophe
Expectations diverted to predictable lows
The ability to care diminishes and grows
I don't think I'll live happily.

This flawed and useless brain of mine
Can only lead to my decline
No matter for whom I might opine
My feelings don't seem to align.

Love and Lust

In the system of romantic justice, there are two separate yet equally important groups.
The wanted, who instigate and develop relationships, and the scorned who catalog the results.
We live their stories.
