Banal Acquisition

Once upon a time

the way all fairy tales start

prince comes

princess goes

flamboyant man

simpering woman

they deserve one another.

Sit through

another grotesque dinner

japes made

feelings shredded

believing

this is reality

chin on hand

glaring over wine cup

sneering

omg

this is the best of them?

Have you heard

how I will save

the country

the economy

everything

god

worship at my feet

marry me

no one else can beat.

Have you 

never seen

curled lip

derision at words

falling

disgust laced

too stupid to realize.

Parade

a’fore me

measure of men

jesters

jackasses

so sick am I

of

strength of stupidity

let them rule

crowed at me.

Shake my head

must make a choice

damn tedious

listening to all the boasting

savior naught

sycophants lie

too bad

you cannot see that.

Lilting

on the air

love song

gentle dream.

Golden hours

long slippery nights

time in a bubble

a desire

a love affair

ever so rare

or so I thought.

Woven fantasies

spoken

dreams created

wisps of smoke

waiting

wanting

spoke to me

of fairy tales.

Always wanted my fairy prince

my knight in shining armour

my king

to lay with queenly self

to call forth passion

to ease the inner ache

I constantly feel.

I would like to know

within the multitude of frogs I have kissed

have you any advice

what do I need to change

so y’all will stay in the swamp?
