We create jungles
we instill the wild
poison ivy, cactuses ‘n’ cacti.
Child!

we cut down trees
we mow the lawn
it’s a dawn of steel and wires
it’s position and image for hire

when sofas and desk chairs
as softness of comfort
compound on relax:
have you had a run since you turned thirty one?

hiding from claw and teeth’s life’s a breeze
where masteries bring minds of pretended peace
and luxurious anxieties
brittles the new ease

lightness, lightness, brightness
smile, teeth whiteness,
comfy conductors, prescriptions
conscription as scriptures of be

transparency and clarity
ease, simplicity, ease
keep it dumb or is it numb or is it under the thumb?
who’s to say, who’s to see!

smile for cameras, here and there, or don’t
fine-tune exposures and actions none-done
life looks like a magazine, factual and undone
There is chocolate melted on projections

life’s idealisms
are realisms for some
are stoic triggers

and conservatisms to come.
