These initial exercises are all derived from simple proven methods to help us better gather whether you suck at your job
Please agree so we can monitor you closely
In each exercise, place an asterisk where your soul has been sucked out

(See aggressions we eat, they're like a crowbar to the jaw)
In the cage on the stage are the places where the hands fall together
In the lines on the page are the places where the hands fall together

(Why don't you stay and fuck up everything)
When you know it don't matter
If you will or you won't
Endure or cower
There's no sinking the boat

We think that nobody's home
We can assume that someone like you is alone
Didn't you abandon everyone and still expect to be treated like a superstar
The golden behaviors are all derived from number one: be successful
It is placed first because it's something you'll never be
So pay attention
Listen closely
In each exercise, place an asterisk on what might have been

When you know it don't matter
If you sink or you float
Punch a hole in the hull, smash the mast with your skull
There's no sinking the boat

When you know it don't matter
If you win or you choke
Take it out for a ride, tear it up from inside
There's no sinking the boat

When you know it don't matter
If you quit or you cope
Tell yourself it's a trap, make a mess of the map
There's no sinking the boat

When you know it don't matter
If you will or you won't
Kiss the captain goodbye, throw him over the side
There's no sinking the boat

Look at the compu-radar readout
Approaching the azimuth vector 32
Exploding volcanic follicles beneath me
Lurch in my g-couch as we impact the goo

Encased in a leaky balloon of alien sebum
The approaching sea of yellow eruptions
Spaceship descending in a gravitational squeeze
Gushing into the planetary sneeze

We come in peace to Planet Pus
Take me to your lesion

Negative feedback from the teeming sticky sea
Infected intelligence pussibly be
When wisdom would transmission ooze
Perhaps with slimy pus cores they snooze

What language they speak and pop
Sticky snot beams splatter and plop
Pus clogging engines, we descend to the boil
I walk out onto the alien sticky soil

tickle lacquer fungus origami
flagellum crank sphincter gypsy
illegible spiral caveman bison
knot sliced flu pop
pork boil igloo multiplier
elephant nut swelling pyramid
juicy hemorrhoid corn market
obfuscate hillary shingle basket
melancholy laplace pavement spittle
hairlip ladle tripod pie
cork cusp dingo flakes
crumple ridge sudsy claw
sebum suction bubbles stilts
