So Fancy So Shiny We Must Have

purified water. 

add a fancy name 
and the seagulls 
swarm for the bread crumbs. 



sophistication gives chance 
to feel safe,

I guess. 

safe from the fear 
of being judged for worth.



Intricate details on 
how some run life 
leaves me 
dubious.


conditioned or innate,
anyway 
I'm glad it 
missed me. 

for I have my peanut butter 
under the staring moon.
