Doggerel pervades
As data on the screen
Streak like abstract raindrops
A flat approximation
Of the raging storm outside
Amused by our own reflection
We chirrup our organs
And mouth blackboard profanities
Deliberately designed to distract
The passive population
It’s time to conjure the critic!
A single dissonant note
Conspires against the meme
Overrides faulty logics
This is the price of personhood
