wearing your brand-loyalty like a politcal campaign t-shirt
cute
you almost seem proud to be so very confused
walking to the beat of the same **** pop-song that every ******* radio station's been blaring for months
designer cup of sludge in hand
and the billboards tell you that you might be pretty
maybe
some day
if you drop thirty-five pounds and buy an over priced bottle of this seasons heavily-scented false sense of "belonging"
that outghtta do it
tuck
lift
plump
fake it
cash in your mail-in rebates for another hunk of junk with a heavy price tag
determined solely by how badly sad saps like you
will want what the magazines say that others have
how sad
you lost sight of yourself years ago
somewhere in the housewares section of the Elmhurst Target
you drifted off near the alarm clocks
whilst day-dreaming about wall-paper schemes
and zebra wood cupboards
and an apron that would match your sunday dress
you got it mixed up
worth isn't measured by cost
beauty isn't measured in inches
and wealth most certainly isn't measurd by a bank statement
but scoff
and laugh me off
like i'm some kind of eccentric fool
rendered maladjusted after years
of steady
concious
thought
leave me to squelch in the riches
of my own cosmic existence
penniless
and proud as a king
leave me to find the mountain's top
and ocean's floor
and black-top's end
leave it me
to be me
i'll go ahead and leave it to you
to be them
