Exploding Windmills
Exploding Windmills
So fragile in its equestrian gait
The tippy toe of stealth
Loves to tread so softly
Behind
In tennis shoes
With velvet claws
Dreamers are destroyed
By fact
These prison smiles
With tiles of teeth
Deride the childish fantasy
Bludgeon at un-illuminated reality
Just to dangle their mechanical
Bag of tricks
Dreamers are destroyed
By fact
Stuff of nonsense
Imagery of bright eyes
Of painted books
And scribbled brush strokes
Pillow fairy tales
And windmills
Dreamers are destroyed
By fact
Sweet girly dresses
And boyish supermen
Plastic sunglasses broken
In the enthusiasm
Of slapping back in
To
The bright day too hot
To consider enchanting
Too fastidiously busy
To stop marketing
Disconsolate in its attitude
To pay attention to a giggle
Dreamers are destroyed
By fact
