beat-up pick-up trucks
and worn out ideals
acid rain
and gasoline rainbows
(the stray cat
comes and goes
like a Cheshire feeling)

anathema
anathema

watered down philosophy
and feel-good irony,
the great metaphoric marathon
picking up where it started
going in circles
in and out the door,
burn it down
less is more

anathema
