we are the simple straw-men
mannequins, the common common,
the substitute for sweet,
the answer
and yet your middle fattens
and you get cancer
wanting alabaster
walmart grecian statues made of plaster
hollow. Hollow. hollow -
spill your saccharine and follow
the glow, the daytime doctor charmer
take your pills
and wish for somewhere warmer
sleep. and if your sleep is haunting
rorschach paper crows then tear them
don't. dress in cast-off clothes and scare them
oh simple simple -
how you fear one thought will break us
or morning light unmake us.
