Soft Explanations
sprinkled
on our heads
sugar
on
a
frosty
cereal
making it all as sweet as possible
making the smokescreen as thick
as the best psychedelic light show
fogging up the stage
dementing our vision with tales of things
that never really happened &
coating them with flavorful language that
chills us with wonder,
numbing all of our questions
so that we may sleep the soundest sleep that we ever have
tonight---
oh
munch them right up
munch
munch
munch them
with a big fat smile that advertisers search far & wide for
munch
munch
munch &
please the deceit machine---
and by all means,
when you’re done,
be sure to ask for a second helping.
