variations on a diary

godparents

when i was a babe
i believed i could
choose my own

why?
 because i watched the fairly odd parents
 and that sounded like fairy god parents
 and i thought ME TOO

now i'm older, and mom just told me i wasn't allowed!!!
 that made me mad so now i'm yelling out loud
 and i've decided that i get to be more right than you if i please
 (and i do)

so to prove you wrong, i set out last week
 i asked gpt3 [see refs: one and then two] about the gospel of thomas
 and i felt like i could learn more about baptism from watching
  That time I got reincarnated as a slime

Because that's what og Jesus would say too
Because a life is measured by the kind of writer you choose.

and i choose me!
 because i've always wanted to write
 even though i never figured out how to pull of a 5 paragraph essay
 i think i just had too much to say
 i could never understand my own point

 but I tried reading Jesus as someone who sounds
 like my friends when they make art i don't quite understand
 but they don't mind! they love me as long as i'm there.

Because it feels better to live as deeply confused my nature as i can and breathe
 than to be
                    an NPC
               suffocating under
               my own ineffable system of rules

Just another no rules sandy, here,
 choosing to make your reality
 until it's a dance of re-orientation
 like the upside down show

Also while we're sharing the sound in the air for no particular reason, take a listen to my first crush's older brother[who once sat down with me at a piano]'s song Strawberry

[2] thanks gpt3 🙏

"what will you do?"
 i'll yell ONE!
 like i'm falling back down to the beginning from a tall place
 i'll call one the light, you call the other the end
 and we'll trade places, starting over each other once again
  gentle reminder todo: 1 = 2 in some half modulus ℤ₂ logarithmetic
