Haywire
Published Sep 4, 2026

...Haywire... one little straw...
Clicked one blade of hay,
felt brave, felt bold It was yellow,
it was boring, and the plot was old So I clicked another,
then a hundred more My cursor got a callus on the barnyard
floor
Haywire! Haywire! One needle,
five million straws, baby, that's the deal Found the needle,
lost my mind — how's it feel?
A thousand straws, my eyes went sideways Ten thousand,
I was rationing my eyelids Half a million,
I named a couple straws Fred and Susan,
they're my only friends now
Haywire! Haywire! One needle,
five million straws, zoomed in for the kill Found the needle,
lost my mind — sitting still
Wait... wait... glint... glint? It's just straw. Glint! It's Fred. GLINT! —
Five million to one, I'm the one in five million Gone. ]
