An Answer to HD/Chicken Little's Question




How does my heart hurt?
How is Yahoo like my heartless, idiotic
smug, self-righteous family of origin
(aka, why I don't like synopsis)
by Happy Hiram

My heart hurts in that little place
under the cupboard
where my insignificance 

is the only hope of safety.
Where elephants trod
over feelings, evidence, reality
and replace it with words;
and all you can walk away with
is a scrap of self.
After that when someone
quotes Schiller,
or paraphrases Hawking
you know where this is leading;
devaluing you,
putting their loaded brains, their know-how
and brute force in your mouth
and pulling the trigger.

Reality is up for grabs

assertions are little stabs.
People are beasts,
evidence is yeast
Devouring with knowing jabs.

  1. And THIS is why I miss you on Yahoo. I won't beat that dead horse too much, but this was brilliant!
