ServantsA Poem by Trevor
Cubicle view, near heard
Panoramic in contrast, far sighted. My optimistic optometrist prescribed these Rose-tinted Optics in red, most have fled, herd A dream built with the hands of every farmer Plotted fields with incredible yields, in their dreams? certainly Golden brick road, man hiding behind the curtain With a lullaby sung for every peasant to convince themselves they're not a servant Panacea boot-straps pull themselves down Paper mache people think they are made out of steel Cubicle view, near sighted Responses, lack-luster Surface level questions, mustered "so how about that weather?" Even if they were glued, the hands wouldn't hold together A home remedy you steal from your grandmother's cabinet, placebo Self medicated with a sleep cap, a dream bought from a local merchant, and a lullaby sung for every peasant to convince themselves they're not a servant © 2020 Trevor |
