Invisible ebony blankets hit the pause button
Coddling the body in restless rest
Pernicious slippers dress feet worn thin
Cozying bodies in utter jest
Pricey poison falls down and in
Rushing a slow beat and pounding the chests
of seemingly pretentious gluttons
Who are really just upset guests
(The vacation of the distressed)
Pillows surreptitiously whisper distractions
Robbing the brain of its regulatory best
Screens steel the brain for big ol’ nuthins
While echoes of truths draw pangs and yearnings for ones inaccessibly distant nest
