FUNNY SONGS, YOU ONLINES PEOPLES

Much of art is establishing a pattern then breaking from it.  Joke tellers may think of this as the third act, e.g. “then the last brother goes to the bartender...”; for musicians, it’s often the bridge (although the chorus typically returns at a song’s conclusion).  

Poet friends and I have discussed this in respect to writing verse as the robot and gorilla (or robot and monkey).  The first sets a predictable, soothing rhythm while the second disrupts it by banging erratically on the drum.  

All the same, the switch is from logic known to unknown, cerebral to visceral, mechanical to animal.  I think of this as we live more of our lives online, as well as when I encounter acronyms new to me while surfing and shuffling through the many transcriptions of real space to internet.  What is LMAO?  All one can do is smile and click on.
