This wedding is stupid. This wedding is dumb. They’ve promised me cake, but all I’ve got are crumbs. I’m Dionysus in a sport coat, with a death glare and a sore throat. I will turn this fucking party upside down. This atmosphere’s putrid. This venue’s a slum. This union affirms for me this game of zero sum. I am not here for the love songs, or the father-daughter dance. I am here to reevaluate my future as it stands. Whether or not it’s meant to be. Whether or not I live in peace. Was it an omen when, down my street, fluttered a grave made of polystyrene? And when I read out “R.I.P.,” did that still mean what it’s meant to mean? Or was it nothing more than meme? Oh, what a paradise it seemed. // If the world doesn’t end, keep me on the guest list. But the world’s gonna end, so take me off the guest list. If the world doesn’t end, keep me on the guest list. But the world’s gonna end, so take me off the guest list. (Take me off the guest list! Take me off the guest list!)
