Tell-Tale

these demons
are like easy people speaking
with glossy tongues
making sure that you feel
good about
the transaction in front of your
face while
the wobble of the edges of the cone
produce the indelible memory
concerning a tell-tale image
demonstrating the true 
inexact picture

spend your
money
spend your 
time
jump through fire rings
run from the otherworld
saw off the connection
dive into the river
all just to purify
yourself
from these
selfish souls
so deranged and starved
for the quest of 
anothers 
excellent life
