Structured thinking

Oddball.

Got my oddball psyche trapped inside a box.
Every time it hits a wall, it accelerates.

Bomb out! One, two, three, four …
It’s everything I hate.

Breakout! Four, three, two, one …
I’m trapped inside a crate.

Bounce back! Get up, speed up
Hit the wall and break it down

Backtrack! Black eye, don’t die
Slam, bang and recoil, bounce around

I’m a one ball Lotto machine and I still don’t win.

Faster! Rattle my skull.
It’s cranking up a lawnmower engine

Faster! It’s a dentist’s drill
screaming to get out.

Warp drive! Ding! That’s weird.
According to Einstein, it should weigh a million tons, but I can’t feel it.
Fuck all in the microwave.
An empty head.
Has it turned to energy?
If so, why can’t I conjure up a single, creative, fucking idea?
