That Was Random
There are actual people
half woman half man
running mornings and
dream people in movies
half language half light.

I know this preacher
Big and famous
Books and hooks
Got good looks

Talks about his legacy
So he can buy
The universe

But all those commercials
But even those
There so funny
Always selling insurance
And always pushing
Warranties
Offering tidbits
