My boss said to me:

"Great attention to detail.

Can you work faster?"

[at0mbehaiku]

Fighting game salt

Causes audible cussing

God fucking damn it

[at0mbehaiku]

My boss said I could

Take all the time I need but

They're not paying me

[at0mbehaiku]

The stairs wet from rain

My dad sitting on the couch

A lump on his head

. . .

"Where are you headed?"

Here! I came here to see you

Can't you remember?

. . .

"Where are we going?"

You need a doctor right now

We're on the way there

. . .

He didn't even

Know who the president was

Said "head of lettuce"

. . .

Back over the hill

I'm driving slow but I know

I'll still get there first

. . .

His brain is bleeding

Emergency surgery to

Try and save his life

. . .

Sedation removed

But he hasn't woken up

Hard bebop playing

. . .

A second brain bleed

A decision involving

Quality of life

. . .

Family dinner

The food is good except that

Dad's in a coma

. . .

Life support removed

I can't watch him breathe like this

Oxygen starvation

. . .

My face wet from tears

Me standing next to my bed

A lump in my throat

[at0mbehaiku]

I'm not really sure

If you can hear the music

Thelonius Monk

[at0mbehaiku]

I put on some Monk

Hopefully you can hear it

Blood and iodine

[at0mbehaiku]

Without competence

You fake it 'till you make it

Or you get fired

Sued, sanctioned and disbarred

In total utter disgrace

[at0mbehaiku]

I'm dropping combos

No wonder I'm feeling sick

Me versus virus

[at0mbehaiku]

Another mistake

Making everything harder

Than it should have been

[at0mbehaiku]

The crunch of metal

No! Tell me I didn't just

Do that shit again

[at0mbehaiku]

Another day of

Maintaining employment by

Keeping it phoney

[at0mbehaiku]

Palo Alto snob

Smelled the San Jose on me

So she changed her seat

[at0mbehaiku]

When it doesn't work

You had better not blame me

Your dumb idea

[at0mbehaiku]

The problem is

The housing crisis

Bay area

問題は

住宅難だ

ベイエリア

[at0mbehaiku]

Only people who

Were never music lovers

Think music sucks now

[at0mbehaiku]

It's important

Communication

I want to understand

大切だ

コミュニケーション

分かりたい
