Hold on a Second

 THE EVERYTHING BUTTON
  
 Thanks to exclusive hassle-free technology.
  
  
 MOTION SENSOR
  
 One less button I don’t have to open the door to push.
  
  
 DISCOVER THE SECRET TO DYNAMIC INTERPLAY
  
 It doesn’t hurt or nothing.
  
  
 TODAY I IDENTIFY AS NONBINARY
  
 Shit’s all the rage.
  
  
 HIERARCHY
  
 A frank display of leg
 Beats pedal assist.
  
  
 AWARDS SEASON
  
 Soaring tributes to national treasures.
 Unique and endearing
  
  
 NO SIGNAL
  
 My favorite channel.
  
  
 ADORATION
  
 The gorilla regards the moon
 Like you do your cell phone.
  
  
 SHRED-MO
  
 Destruction you can trust.
  
  
 MY BELIEFS
  
 If I keep them for forty years, that’s how long I keep them.
  
  
 THE HIT
  
 Used a shotgun and a handgun.
 Somebody wanted him dead.
  
  
 HOLD ON A SECOND
  
 No duck is worth the life of a man.
  
  
 INSTRUCTIONS
  
 Go there first.
 Then come back.
  
  
 THINKING
  
 Where’s the afterparty, right?
  
  
 FLORIDA
  
 He laughed in my face.
 You mean Flo Rida?
  
  
 DAP
  
 He laughed in my face.
 You mean dab?
  
  
 I’VE DONE SOME CRAZY SHIT
  
 But I’ve never had a quesadilla with refried beans in my life.
  
  
 SMELL IT
  
 You smell it.
  
  
 AT DISNEY-THEMED CHURCH SERVICES
  
 It’s traditional to say something encouraging.
  
  
 I REALLY LIKE YOUR JACKET
  
 It’s so nice.
