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

...tooth-like projections that hang from the undersurface of the fruit bodies with thick, smooth inner walls and warts. The fruit bodies typically have a funnel-shaped cap with a white edge. The flesh is a pale pinkish brown. The lower part is hairy. Moist fruit bodies can "bleed" bright red guttation droplets. The fungus is known by several names, "strawberries and cream", the "red-juice tooth", the "bleeding tooth fungus", and the "devil's tooth". It is usually densely covered with "hairs". Fresh fruit bodies exude a striking, thick red fluid when they are moist.

jason harvey: composition

It's time for you to pop
Hills of flesh I adore
The pus you'll have to mop
When it plops onto the floor

Deep within there lies a cyst
With a slimy core inside
It pulsates with evil intent
A crusty crater nothing will hide

Vicious polyp
Perpetual pimple of death
Gargantuan pustule upon my face
An eternal, lumpy, red race

(Soon the blood squeezed through the lumen
Of the migrating purply lesion on my face
And it dripped on my chin
It just wouldn't stop)

It will have no mercy as it creeps up your cheek
Drain your soul and make you weak
As you try to squeeze but to no avail
Over your nose it will slowly scale

It dwells in the oilfield tissue
The pustule rises, oh how you flail
It plunges into your brain
