good memory 02:37
What did I say? You have something I forgot My mouth leaks when I speak, but you can tell me it all With your good memory, I'll only have to say this once My teeth are slippery when wet and when names fall off my tongue I know you will catch them and eat them forever Your ears have lots of writing on them; I can watch my words appear on your skin as I say them You're the library of my stupid scrawlings, my search history with heart eyes You only care about myself, so let's trade and feel good about it I figured out how to live forever and it's to tell you everything

I have a string tied around my bones I come down the stairs, it follows Invisible line behind me sticks to the walls, tries to remind me the shape of places I'll be next When I take three right turns and one left I draw myself in the sand, a bead on a rail in a doctor's office I'm shaking my head till I have finished tracing lines in the air where my new head is facing And I have a string that follows me home Suddenly you are making scissors and you are cutting my thread with your fingers Reeling me in to go like this and now I can spin around the staircase again before going up

Little digital people are kissing I think they're in love They have been looking at each other for a long time We showed them to each other when I brought my keychain to your house When we sat down in the grass to press buttons together We leaned on the big tree and listened to the beeping They looked at each other and wondered about their TV screens We looked at each other, introduced our mouths It's nice to meet you I hate you I ran out of time again I barely remember your face Little digital people will never forget We don't press the same buttons I don't like the beeps that I heard They've always been the same Isn't that nice? I wish I'd left him in the grass and you'd forgotten yours too, so they could have little digital sex forever

我们没有女朋友 Don't make us say that again! You don't have to rub it in You don't have to rub it in Say it slower, tell our friends Say what we already know 我们没有女朋友 我们没有女朋友 I will never skip a day We'll be out of hearts by the time we get the idea 你他妈的看什么 我们没有女朋友 You don't have to rub it in You don't have to rub it in 我们没有女朋友 I will never skip a day We'll be out of hearts by the time we get the idea 你他妈的看什么 我们没有女朋友 You don't have to rub it in You don't have to rub it in

At the long end of the day today, tell me: how many steps did I take? How many times did I shuffle, scrape my feet against the ground and each other? How do you know I didn't just shake you so many times up and down? When I'm ready, show me the chart, haven't I earned that? Don't I deserve that? Somewhere ahead, propped up in a puddle of ink with a pin, with the stars sprinkled in, there's a blue table On it there's a handful of numbers that I know, a grand total Maybe they've grown to where they are now, maybe they've come a certain way from zero But that's none of my business Everything that happened, all the air that I moved in my time moving air And the data that left me and wandered outside Someone has tied perfect, countable packages around every instance of every footstep, all the time, forever What does it matter what I'll do with that information? It's the comfort and reward of knowing that it was lovingly gathered for me Someday, I hope I will see you and be finally apprised

I know I am not supposed to look at video pieces of the water I can't turn away before it unloads I can't turn away until it unrolls behind me Stretch to the corner of repetition Pixels make made-up skin but it isn't wide enough to say we're really here The tiles break up to meet the rocks and spill out into their bounding box It takes six squares to cover every side and sixty more to go from left to right around me Stare me down at low resolution Where do you go once you've found the ocean? Save my memory so I don't drop a frame

heavy mail 04:21
What do you want for breakfast? Be honest I could read you a long list but you'd already know what's on it I only have you to myself for the next two or three days, so I hope you don't get bored of the same two or three shapes If faces are a bottleneck with threads on either side, the vase's hips make your lips, the handles make my eyes I know you left your toothbrush here because you forgot And I'll pretend that I have caught you red handed and scheming But don't take it home because it means you'll be back to see me Cuz you gotta brush em sometime in the mirror when you're home Recycled wires and car tires stay here and keep me warm

agile module 04:45
Each modulator is shipped with all equipment assembled, wired, factory-system tested, and then packaged in an appropriate shipping container. Ensure that all accessories are removed from the container and vacuum material before they are discarded. Inspect the front and rear of the equipment for shipping damage. Should any damage be discovered after unpacking the unit, immediately file a claim with the carrier. A full report of the damage shall be made and a copy forwarded to [REDACTED] laboratories inc. The company will then advise what disposition is to be made of the equipment. Adherence to the initial precautions outlined in Table 1 will help prevent problems arising during initial installation and ensure optimum service of the Modulator. Mount the unit securely in a standard 19 inch EIA rack, ensuring access to rear connections and front controls. Make sure adequate ventilation exists in the vicinity of the unit. Plug in the 3-prong connector of the AC power cord into a suitable 117 V 60 Hz AC outlet of adequate current carrying capacity. Use appropriate cables (75 Ohm coaxial) to connect the program source to the video and audio input connectors and the RF output of the unit to the system input. Gently pull both access door retaining clips simultaneously to expose the offset and channel selector switches. Using an appropriate tool (or a ballpoint pen) set each individual switch of all three DIP switches (a total of 20) either "UP" or "DOWN" according to one of the two channel charts. A miniature abbreviated channel chart for Standard channels is also attached to the rear of the access door. Resecure the access door to prevent inadvertent tampering with the channel setting and ingress of dust and dirt.

I bet you're wondering why I have asked you all to come Pay your respects if you have some Pay up and then stop talking Give me a moment of Give me a moment of When I've outgrown my face and I've been shot with a gun at space, you'll gather everyone Stop talking! Stop talking! Give me a moment of I need a moment of Give me a moment of Give me a moment of I need a moment of Can I get a moment? Just a moment's enough The timing is all wrong You've finished what you're saying I promise I'm not bored, just out of things to say back to you My story wasn't long enough to fill the spaces We've got some time to spill so keep talking! Keep talking! My mouth is getting dry You're looking somewhere probably It's not that big a deal, just give me a moment of it Honor my wishes and give me a moment of mouth noises The kick and the snare fill the silences You take me the wrong way when it's not there so don't start talking I wish you'd give me a second of mouth noises to dance to while it sets in I take my time, you take me the wrong way But I feel fine so don't start talking yet
