Charge code

I put my life in an Excel spreadsheet.

With pictures and bells, ribbons and alarms.

It was the last morning

of an otherwise unblemished record.

Hunting was outlawed/ hunting was encouraged.

Everybody was on board, and they were all well nourished.


I put my death in an Excel spreadsheet.

It was the last mistake I would ever make.

A new beginning... fresh milk.

Starting all over again,

preparing to become extinct.

Input, output, contretemps.


INPUT

OUTPUT CONTRETEMPS


I don't like you when you're hokey,

I hate you when you're cokey.

Yeah yeah yeah goodnight.
