INTERNAL MEMORANDUM

justin sirois

 

 

oy vey! I mean ahoy!

we just want to remind you that

licensing agreements & budgeting restraints

will significantly encumber whatever shifty samples

you might be trying to implement in the chime, which

you’re so skillfully linking to our subconscious

 

the Group & our Board will be dizzy with the result

I’m sure – I got that –

you got that? This memorandum contains orders so

deranged that you might have to hold it

in front of a stolen error to decode

lie when you sing, ok?

lie about everything

bury those musical influences in discord & dribble

divorce the spirit from inspiration

radiate what fruits your labor bears

so the tune can live in duplicate

long after copyright expiration

 

you’re not wasting time poking around the tea section, are

you? Cruelty-free is close to Godliness, but that grocery

store’s IPO wasn’t attractive enough to invest

here’s the virus we spoke of so many times

you forgot to treat the inflection

infernal ringing!

destroy this message after you get it

 

do you ever feel tentacles covering your little planet

like contracting timetables?

man, my BlackBerry’s gray screen

nearly ends me
