say nothing
let the plate crash on the floor
send out the manager instead
allow the official ticket seller
to wave a wand of percentages

keep saying nothing
not even something like:
hey E Street Nation
I carry a lot of band and crew around
and we’re making up for pandemic hiatus

instead, it’s hey look over there
watch this video of me
playing with Jack Antonoff’s Bleachers
forget that you can’t get online
to buy regular price tickets
until Dynamic Pricing kicks in

In his new film NOPE (UFOs, killer chimpanzee, monster in human form), Jordan Peele avoids explaining plot details, trusting the audience to pay attention and discover without being spoon-fed.
That was too much for a Yahoo.com commenter on a MEN’S HEALTH article about the film’s meaning.
Here’s the commenter (name omitted):
Most people want to see a move to be entertained, not to leave the theater and have to figure out what they just watched and then have to read 2000 words to get a better understanding. This move has the correct title Peele nailed it, NOPE!
1. Don’t Bother Me (I’m Trying To Overthrow The Election)
2. Don’t Let Me Down (with Mike Pence-specific lyrics)
3. Rudy Talk To Tuberville
4. Go Home, You Wonderful Capitol Vandals
5. The Election Isn’t Over
6. Kevin and Lindsey Will Come Around
7. Run Hawley Run
8. Lachlan Murdoch Don’t Fail Me Now
9. Just One More Chance (lyric prompts by Ivanka)
they killed Roe Versus Wade
then they went after the EPA
ideologues giving extremists what they crave
laws only to be decreed by corporations and states
large money Democrats yodel this familiar tune:
VOTE BLOOO NO MATTER WHOOO
some voters will be scared into blind support
terror of a nation with federal bans and more overturns
but if the Democratic majorities occur
very little of what’s promised will change
with lots of rationalizations about the Beltway
and reluctance to do anything resembling activism
because activism might scare big donors and cultural conservatives
so get ready for an America with liberty liposuctioned
and a 2024 with air raid sirens again yodeling:
VOTE BLOOO NO MATTER WHOOO
