Double Blind 20-20


See what!

Don’t let a let a lot of
skyjack noise 
		         cloud your IQ vision
Radar babies make sonar decisions
for the latest batch 
of tech toys

They be so double blind batty,
making a-plenty penthouse dwellers’
pockets grow beanstalk fatty

Don’t be a mice fool, 
and go play
the double blind game of possessions

Don’t be a dull tool,
with no say
Telling ‘em your covetous confessions

20/20 
is starting to look a-like
a whole lot of double zero eyes
are getting poked twice

Look-y here ...

Another snooze chump
for beta wave paid 
	          commercial distractions
The new-and-improved
is bank loan made
for your consumer lust satisfaction

Weekly double hump
got those pyramid scheme calculators
seeing a 5th finger 
interest double bump

Which is sure to put you in 
another repo session
But hey, slaving for glaucoma scraps
is your debt passion

Don’t be a lemming fool, 
and cliff fall
for the age-old double blind game of bait-and-switch

Don’t be a pigeon stool,
of rote recall
Every product prototype has a developmental glitch

20/20 
is starting to look a-like
a whole lot of double zero eyes
are getting poked twice

20/20
Rearview tinted vision 
is seeing a lot of table stake chimps
getting poker played

20/20
Planet of the Apes
is being neo-Babel Tower
glitter blind raised

See whatnot!

20/20
Double blind pursed lip hospice 
is being wallet
	       wink walkie
$o money $ign 
     nod double-talkie
Who doctored a future paid?

20/20
Little Stevie Wonder mint cane sight-seeing,
bills in the Braille fold
Pirate eye patchy sold —  
Fifth finger collection is a guide dog feeling

Double blind vision
looks a-like
Another dim gold brick laid

Yes, it’s true and in this case it’s the rats who have set the bait for us. There is a certain irony in that. As always, top shelf poetry Freddie. Blessings Rick.
