Don't Blink

7-26-17

The forest animals stretch and yawn,
and somewhere a clock is arguing
the merits of Aristotle with a
teleprompter and a set of gardening shears.
Only Disney princesses know immortality;
the jobless men vaguely struggle while
teaching us how to hide our feelings and
just stay creepy yet suave enough
to get kissed (and we like getting kissed).
Otherwise, no real endgame.
Everything's a lie dressed up as
the unquestionable truth, and when you
blink, that's when the unmentionables happen.
There is no heaven in the animation.
There is only some kind of bullshit
happily ever after behind closed credits.
