There is no abracadabra
Hocus pocus
Open sesame
No unsaying things said
Nor undoing things done
Kissing him good-bye
As if it were hello
But it’s really good-bye
It’s really
He’ll never know
Since he’ll be long gone
Before the truth escapes
From her sensuous
Secretive mouth
He’ll never understand
She wasn’t batshit crazy
She was just infused
With HIS crazy sauce
Do all aspects of life
Boil down to
What Mom always said?
Her timeless wisdom
Withstanding technological innovation
Educated fools
Still as predictable
As the day they
Finally stood upright
Getting into as much trouble
As their opposable thumbs
Could grasp
Lackluster people
Wearing down nerves
With their dull words
Coma-inducing
Conversation
Dangerous conservative ideas
Slipping past lethally
While eyes glazed over
Mind on autopilot
What did you say?
My mind wandered off
In self-defense
Sorry
So
You found
THE SOLUTION
The silver bullet
To a complex problem
All that needs to happen
Is for everyone to act
And think narrowly
As you do?
Just say the word
Any word
Work roots
Cast a spell
It’s all fairy tales and lies
Smoke and mirrors
Optical illusions
It only becomes
THE TRUTH
If someone believes it
