Skimming through a magazine in
paradise
When the magician comes along and
makes the mistake of
Having an alligator appear instead
of a rabbit
A countdown to when we’ll be running
from the sun
Until we’re home in our subdivisions
Trust has been broken again
And there’s less and less remorse
about it
If only something else were endless
Like Zenful isolation
Being alone doesn’t mean you’re in
decay
Energy wasted
