“Notifications Off” by Charles March III

Consult with a secret incel schizoid
Telegraph yourself to stalkers
Put a slug in surprise’s eye
Rub fictitious holes in your socks
Then wool walk with hemmed-up booties in the slush
French kiss a mistletoe 
Suck my foot
Clean the demented with a 99.9% disinfectant 
Re-learn arithmetic, but don’t forget to yell fore
Bash your necrotic teeth in 
Let them have a life of their own
Imbibe in stimulants 
Then do nothing all day
Build drywall with the insides of your nose 
Eat your spicket one bite at a time
