Yes, but it rarely happens. When it does its weird and wonderful in a way.
>went on a date with a girl smarter than me
>she had a pretty face but she wasn't sexually attractive to me
>I was in a relationship at the time
>didn't kiss her on the first date, nor on the second for the reasons stated above
>it got weird and I never saw her again
Oh well

And when the moon sinks
we, as in you and i, as in they and them,
as in the waves and the buildings,
as in the dogs and the cats, we don't feel nor see it.

But it is there and happening.
Pulsating like a pale cast heart,
like a reel from a movie from a distant time we all forgot
like the leg of a chair which creeks under weight

and in the terrible sadness of a falling moon
of a levitated, no longer levitated rock
we bat no eyes nor lift our hands
we just sing as crows.
Cawing vacantly into our glasses
and crying when the rain falls.

Is irony bullshit in contemporary culture?

The way I see it, we already live in a society teeming at the brim with apathy, with loneliness, with fear, and with general sadness. So, why should we perpetrate that further with irony? with negativity? Why should we be as bullshit as the world we live in?

I dunno, maybe I'm gay.
