Conspire

I used to be conspiratorial, now I’m just conspiracy-lite

Like there’s a picture of Lee Harvey Oswald hanging in my kitchen
But I’ve only listened to one 5-part deep dive podcast on the JFK assassination

Like my dogs name is Fox Mulder
But I forget the name of every X-Files episode

Like watching that UFO dance above Kuwait
Laid dark on smoke-pit roof
But it disappeared before I could show someone else

Like I used to read the Above Top Secret forums when I was twelve
But I don’t believe the government made ALL the frogs gay

Like I take the absence of light personally November thru February
But knee-deep depression is only in my head

I told some friends I needed a big change
And a car accident sounded better than a haircut
Because comedy only exists through tragedy
Everybody laughed

Flipping a coin is freedom from life decisions
This year I don’t believe in intention
Only continued self-deception
