PICTURE INSIDE OF A STERLING SLIVER FRAME

 

How wonderfully maintained

those manicured smiles are

 

He the right height above her

to show stature and strength;

she the anticipated 6 inches below

to have her face give that needed

upward tilt as she admires him

with love’s glow

How they must have practiced

To give what they not know

 

Then to have that ever present little

child set squarely in the middle

how he looks so protected as he shares

each individual 

The picture inside of a sterling silver frame

 

How far from the truth!

 

How cruel its aim to remind the unfortunate of

what life is supposed to have captured

to make the lonely enthralled  

no, even to become enraptured at

what they shall never reap

 

Oh! The fantasy they are selling

is as silly as a yak sitting on a

bar seat, tossing back order after

order of whiskey taken neat

 

The family of that sterling picture frame

is not a family at all

it is a captured lie

of mass production

no memories, no reality of that day

just a piece a paper to be thrown

away...

A clever depiction of our feel good world that likes to create a romantic reality that becomes a commercial product... So often, as you say, the 'happiness' is simply a pose... today's litter...

Sad but perceptive...
