like a tumor on an x-ray.

Please dim it for the greater good

since you have not even earned

it's value.

You bought it out of your father's wallet.

Batman toasters gave me you.

They gave me a best friend

who laughed with me when no one else would

Morning glories hold my heart out to you

find a smile through that one

wave of future

in this vast ocean of reality.

At the top of the stairs a little girl stood,

holding her plush giraffe and a blank expression.
