the chubby boy laughs
the skinny girl gags
the clouds draaaag across the morose sky
for they haven't seen the Secret
and aren't into positive thinking
yet
the clicks and clanks of our devices
strangle the song of the earth
the beauty queen is so so fancy
and so so cold
we scurry at the feet of her plastered image
in our sky.
she reminds us to buy
the dead are beneath us
decaying
recycling
back into our energy pie
as we build our grey city higher and higher
into the sky
light is God
we are afraid of the dark
so we plug it all in
and turn it all on
until it is time to die
