What is my purpose?
To find purpose in this
Purposeless stuff
Via purposeful poetry.

I will become
A well oiled,
Well versed
Purpose finding machine.
Purp-o-matic 5000.
Insert chaos,
I exert order.
Insert apathy,
I exert spirit.
Insert problem,
I exert solution.

And I’m all yours,
This handy-dandy
human machine,
For just four easy payments of
$19.95.
(Act now!)
