Gone Forever
Barriss Mills
Halfway through shaving, it came –
the word for a poem.
I should have scribbled it
on the mirror with a soapy finger,
or shouted it to my wife in the kitchen,
or muttered it to myself till it ran
in my head like a tune.
But now it's gone with the whiskers
down the drain. Gone forever,
like the girls I never kissed,
and the places I never visited –
the lost lives I never lived.
"Reflections on a Gift of Watermelon Pickle... And Other Modern Verse" - compiled by Stephen Dunning, Edward Lueders, and Hugh Smith

Taylor Swift and Should Have
'Taylor Swift'
Should've Said No: You should've said "No," you should've gone home, you should've thought twice before you let it all go
Should've Said No: You should've known that word 'bout what you did with her'd get back to me
Should've Said No: And I should've been there in the back of your mind
Should've Said No: You should've said "No," baby, and you might still have me
Our Song: The first date, "Man, I didn't kiss her when I should have"
Our Song: The first date, "Man, I didn't kiss him when I should have"
A Perfectly Good Heart: Maybe I should've seen the signs, should've read the writing on the wall
'Fearless (Taylor's Version)'
White Horse: Stupid girl, I should've known, I should've known
'Speak Now (Taylor's Version)'
Dear John: The girl in the dress cried the whole way home, I should've known
Dear John: Don't you think nineteen's too young to be played by your dark, twisted games when I loved you so, I should've known
Dear John: The girl in the dress wrote you a song, you should've known
Dear John: You should've known, don't you think I was too young, you should've known
The Story Of Us: But you held your pride like you should've held me
Foolish One: And thinking he’s the one, you should’ve been walking out
'Red (Taylor's Version)'
The Moment I Knew: You should've been there, should've burst through the door
The Moment I Knew: You should've been there, and I would've been so happy
Babe: Big mistake, broke the sweetest promise that you never should have made
'1989 (Taylor’s Version)'
Wonderland: I should have slept with one eye open at night
'reputation'
Getaway Car: Should've known I'd be the first to leave, think about the place where you first met me
'Lover'
(no should have)
'folklore'
The 1: And if you wanted me, you really should've showed
'evermore'
Willow: Now this is an open-shut case, I guess I should've known from the look on your face
Marjorie: I should've asked you questions, I should've asked you how to be
Marjorie: Should've kept every grocery store receipt 'cause every scrap of you would be taken from me
'Midnights'
Bigger Than The Whole Sky: I'm never gonna meet what could've been, would've been, what should've been you
Would've, Could've, Should've: Oh, all I used to do was pray, would've, could've, should've, if you'd never looked my way
Would've, Could've, Should've: Oh, you're a crisis of my faith, would've, could've, should've, if I'd only played it safe

My solution for bloatware is this: by law you should hire in every programming team someone who is Like, A Guy who has a crappy laptop with 4GB and an integrated graphics card, no scratch that, 2 GB of RAM, and a rural internet connection. And every time someone in your team proposes to add shit like NPCs with visible pores or ray tracing or all the bloatware that Windows, Adobe, etc. are doing now, they have to come back and try your project in the Guy's laptop and answer to him. He is allowed to insult you and humilliate you if it doesn't work in his laptop, and you should by law apologize and optimize it for him. If you try to put any kind of DRM or permanent internet connection, he is legally allowed to shoot you.
With about 5 or 10 years of that, we will fix the world.
