Earrings

The complete loss of naivety doesn’t necesseraly lead To cynicism cause it would be too dramatic Its just a usual way of life As it is, no naivety, no cynicism Though you’d like to have them in stock Just in case you’d need some of it again But the problem is, sellers are gone Those good sellers, who could get anything you wanted Some of them have become state officials Others have converted to Buddhism And a few have delved deep into the sweet dullness Of privacy in the countryside homes But sooner or later you realize That you own them for free Naivety and cynicism Absolutely like new, here they are Well shaped, exquisitely elegant With a little leaf on the ends Looking exactly like the earrings we bought you last summer You can wear them again, why not No one will notice, what these items are They’d only see the earrings.
