Y= Sugarrrrrrrr Coated


from the ABC set Unordered Tales

Dipped in sugar every morning

It used to be innate

Life's licked

The honeyed layers

Acidic center lies in wait

Its simple situations

That require a buttered tact

I shrink at surface understanding

Favouring legitimate react

I want to scrub off all my make-up

At cosmetic compliments deride

Shake pragmatic deliberation

From its seperation in the mind

Weed the boarders of delusion

So the nightshade feels at home

Melt the tone of conversation

Prior to contagion of my phone

Quash, each volleyed "Hi how are you?"

Before lip-service falls in place

Veracity's become a private gizmo

Surface paradox is expanding into space

A faceless merge of private missions

A community in shroud

Single voices commend the snowball

As it thunders through the crowd

The truths so hard to answer

It takes time and heed to understand

Interrupting tick of times abrupt

The ultimate command

An intrusion into solitude

The literal human-race

Time and money is the hunted

And so we follow instincts chase
