masks of course that smile
(Monday after goodness from sabbath times is done)

I’m tired
tired of playing the game
goes
the satiric song

but tired
really
don’t you know and
maybe you could share
from
everything exhausting

which sometimes is the blur
and not much more

and
sometimes is the imposition of
the expectation
that busyness must reign
the real
virtue

and by image
don’t you know
we have
so many things to do
which
is why
there is no real time for you

and
don’t worry
we are teaching children
if not how
but by the show to live
frantic
and frenetic

in the way
for generations
