swimming with unicorns
the kenyans will win marathons
the yellow lines in parking lots will be repainted
the bright eyed infantry will
take night classes to get their mbas
and become six sigma black belts
limbs will be severed in industrial accidents
foster children will be
raped in rooms full of potpourri and stuffed animals
pelicans will drown in oil spills
midgets will commit suicide amidst confetti
but the shelves will always be stocked with marshmallows
and chances are
you will float through this life
untested.
like a pink moon.
sure as this
the history books
may or may not
include you
but
hardly anyone
reads
history books
and
the few
who do
discuss it among themselves
at superfluous conventions
or on various
esoteric internet forums
or in passing
to their wives:
those dull eyed creatures
nodding slowly out of habit
while planning the purchase of a Coach purse
or some other
asinine
coup.
