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.
