“Gather one and all!
You’re cordially invited
to the spotlight on the stage!”
The crowd begins to swell and sway
around the bed they’ve made us make.
With a want on every breath,
mouths are spouting
“More please! More Please! More Please!”
It’s a growing chorus of frantic, irrational need.
“Would you kindly play assistant
in strangling the life from us!
Show your hands if you’re willing!
Step right up and take a snare!”
They’re fashioned from your expectations.
They fit around our necks,
whispering to us, as we choke out
“Thank you! Thank you! You’re too kind!”
