Lucky Charms and Anvils

Children passing through the valley of death

Their chatter amplified by the facades of closing in betrayal

They fear no evil that teaches them to be silent 

And pay attention to imaginary platitudes scratched into the cave wall

What's for lunch? Windows windows windows, traffic and windows. 

The walk home is worse; gets heavier each passing day.
