can we declare once and for all
and forever ever that
what works best for me

That maybe you’re part exotic cactus
that grows only on the rocky coasts of Aruba
and I am half [...]

Don’t get psycho (or loco)
no one can control
the media or the message
now that we have the internet
don’t get paranoid
1984 has come and gone

including pictures, video, and text
that can be tagged and cross-checked
and connected to [...]

The fact
that you are reading this
proves my whole idea
that you been trying to figure out
who I am and where I live

looking my name up on the internet
and checking out my interests
and vital statistics and hobbies
