Boyfriend Set

by Kamikaze Picnic

I complete you in this handsome outfit
I’m a boyfriend set. You pick me up at the outlets
My hair comes in a light brown finish
You can have it dyed - color options are endless
I come with two interchangeable blazers
Others sold separately, so budget for you salary
I can move furniture up to 500 pounds
You may modify my dimensions to be chiseled or round
I’m a boyfriend set. You can spray me with cologne
Give me a hammer and I’ll fix your home
I follow your commands like ‘help’ and ‘stop!’
And I recite love sonnets while I vacuum and mop
I’ll figure out your feelings, based on the clues
And no intimate request will be refused
Warning: Your boyfriend’s heart can set fire
If you overload his circuits by teasing desire
Please read the manual before you turn him on
There is also some cognitive assembly required
If he’s in a bar and does not answer your call
Or writes your phone number on a bathroom stall
Just call for support. We’ll be there same day
To pick up your boyfriend and cart him away
Order Mr. Brute or Mr. Teddy
Select standoffish or cuddle ready
Choose a team player or a know it all
We’re standing by.
Make the call.

Kamikaze Picnic is a pioneer of the music genre he created called pulp rap. By basing his 100 albums on flash fiction, the albums form an episodic look into a dystopic island near Manhattan. His goals from album 100 down were to (1) not rap about rapping (2) not curse (3) scratch in every song. At album 94 he added the goal of (4) making episodic fiction-based music. At album 79 he added the goal of (5) avoid sampling by playing his own instruments and add assessment in the form of crossword puzzles relating to the fictional content. The setting of the albums is Junk Island, a 6th borough made of recycled garbage that has been sanitized and compacted into interlocking blocks that can be dropped into the ocean south of Manhattan and reaching into the Atlantic Ocean.
