24th July 2025

May you always get up from your computer

with your headphones still attached by cable,

and may your tiny farts sound like a hooter

while in silent prayer at dining table.

May you never find again that song you liked

and can google not that TV show you loved.

May the purchase you have saved for be price hiked

and in freezing winds one hand remain ungloved.

May on both sides be your pillow ever warm

and your cuffs forever long when washing hands;

may your umbrella open backward in a storm

and your phone be signal-free in foreign lands.

 These minor curses plagued me from the start

 from the devil I made pacts with for my art.
