Garden Ornament
Tyranny Theorem.
Kev Reid
I've
been dodging traffic cones of late
They're significantly malicious
With
their null-space stillness
Oozing
and spewing reflected hate
Just
sitting there
A
negative impact on my reality
No
empathy
Their
orange plastic talons ripping upwards
Tearing away the nothingness they push into my mind
They
cackle within the silence they create
I feel
their prying lack of eyes
Like a
million spies
All
knowing of my fate
Stabbing, boring through the back of my head as I walk past
I
can't last
Their
smugness is innate
All
knowing what I think for them
Plotting what I know for them
Their
hunger never sates
They're in league with the watching windows
And
omnipresent bricks
Playing little tricks
Roaring, side-splitting laughter emanates from their inanimate forms
I
cringe and suffocate before the rows and rows of gorgons
They
must be soldiers of the gnomes
Commanding from their thrones
On the
pristine lawns
Just
pawns for the garden ornament galactic dictators
Rosy
red cheeks
Grinning freaks
Our
Porcelain overlords
Using
their cone clones as psychic bait...
