It’s funny how the stars
Hold so much power
In magic and love
Since they’re dead
It’s funny how as a kid
Space was this magical place
You always wanted to visit
When it’s actually cold and lifeless
It’s funny how the rain
Is this beautiful symbol
That washes away the pain of the past
But then it actually washes away your house
Because of flooding
It’s funny how people think otters
Are cute and innocent
But they’re actually ruthless
And they rape and kill
Baby seals
It’s funny how everyone hates stairs
But elevators are more likely
To kill you
It’s funny how you thought coffee
Was disgusting
And now it fuels
Your entire life
It’s funny how we tell kids
Fairy tales at bedtime
But if we told them
The original versions
They’d have nightmares
It’s funny how politicians
Make a big deal about immigration
When we kicked the Indians
Out of their home
It’s funny how what you thought
You were gonna be as a kid
Is almost never the case
It’s funny how everyone
Knocks art students
But the world still
Expects art
