Contract

you're the one that sold me on the crescent moon a salesman selling ad space, a contract signed by noon I bought it all with your sweet smile, paper signed with blues filed in your manila folder with other papers of different hues I reread the manifest, I'm absorbing every word note the missing feelings and the things not heard no clauses for my escape, no way that I can purge not enough adjectives to define and way too many verbs a contract of adhesion, consumer protection not offered your heart getting richer, another added to your coffer mine lays by the roadside with all the times I suffered neglected terms and conditions without any buffers this contract that I purchased reaches its expiration renewal not an option without love coming to fruition you are up the street, selling honey and aberration and I'm reading the small print with a whole new appreciation
