Square smile

[Intro: low mechanical whir, rising beep pattern, servo click]
The ninth floor handles filing and reconciliation.
Leeya Wittkee reconciles filings.
This is her function. This is stated on her badge.
Leeya Wittkee's smile is square.
Her smile does not rise at the corners.
It does not fall at the corners.
It remains level. It remains level at all times.
This is consistent with her role.

Consider the Wilhelmsen account.
Nobody can locate the Wilhelmsen account.
Leeya Wittkee reconciles the Wilhelmsen account.
The work does not require joy.


[Transition: pitched-down beep, three short clicks, static jitter]

[Chorus]
Her smile does not emote
It does nothing at all of note.
An expressive face
Is tough to rang gull
So reveal your teeth
In a tight wreck tangle

[Break: dial-up screech, gear grinding, robotic vocal glitch]

Consider the fax machine.
With its wurring and it's beeps
When it jams.
"Her smile is square"
When it clears
"Her smile is square"
This is the correct response.

BUROCRATIC PRECISION

"Her smile is square"

Consider the higherarkee
The higherarkee is built from forms.
Forms that authorize forms.
Direction is a liability in this building.
Direction implies preference.
Preference implies deviation.
Deviation requires forms.


[Transition: pitched-down beep, three short clicks, static jitter]

[Chorus]
Her smile does not emote
It does nothing at all of note.
An expressive face
Is tough to rang gull
So reveal your teeth
In a tight wreck tangle

[Break: stuttering vocoder hum, stapler-click percussion, low drone]

Consider the stapler.
The stapler is refilled on Tuesdays.
Tuesday is the same day
that she smiles the way
She smiled on Monday.
Wednesday she will smile
As she smiled on Tuesday
This is called consistency.

[Interlude: whirring gears, paper-feed rattle, robotic hiccup]

Consider the carbon copies.
In Triplicate.

White for the file.
Yellow for the department.
Pink for archive.

"Sounds whimsical!"

[Explosion: distorted mechanical blast, alarm beep, static burst]
Nope.
Efficient
Practical
Straight forward and direct.

[Transition: pitched-down beep, three short clicks, static jitter]

[Chorus]
Her smile does not emote
It does nothing at all of note.
An expressive face
Is tough to rang gull
So reveal your teeth
In a tight wreck tangle



[Interlude: clicking relay, rising static, mechanical exhale]



[Chorus]
Her smile does not emote
It does nothing at all of note.
An expressive face
Is tough to rang gull
So reveal your teeth
In a tight wreck tangle
An expressive face
Is tough to rang gull
So reveal your teeth
In a tight wreck tangle
reveal your teeth
In a tight wreck tangle
reveal your teeth
In a tight wreck tangle
