Normalcy

When people at the airport cry
And hug and look so sad,
I laugh at them, then ponder why
They live to be so drama-clad.

Cothurnus' fit is tight, will squeeze
A flood of tears from head,
Then paracosm god will please
The need to build a phony stead.

That fucker and his fucker friends,
Their volume earns a fee.
Their winged plate, I hope, portends
The knife-cut bones they'll pay to me.

Tyrannosaur of cyborg form,
Metallic savior-beast,
Should enter to deface, deform,
And toss whatever I like least.

  2. Normal children's play is a bit frightening: "and we carried off like spoils the heads we'd smash right off your dolls" (ECostello)
