Social Gimmicks from Social Gimmicks by Charles Dingus

here, I've laied it all out for you
scatter-brained content
check out my zine
can you figure out what I mean by Social Gimmicks?

Hi, how are you?
I see you're engaged.
I'm just waiting on the bus

I can't keep up with social history
and current politics
more than two things to keep
my one good eye on
and there's the problem

I can't keep up with social gimmicks

I got a good night's sleep by sleeping through the alarm
on the one day I made plans with
anyone who matters

and can you tell why I can't keep up with social gimmicks

around the corner from my house there's a circus
but the freaks are just two people
they invite me out to laugh at all my interests

should i stay or should i go

can't keep up with social gimmicks

here's my timeframe
for trying to learn how to keep up with you
i'll give you as much as you give
I guess that's not a lot
but I don't know how to deal with social gimmicks
