Well, madame,
we have a lightly glazed
upper-crust fois gras
from tubes
rammed down deep
Into their visage.
A gavage!
to fatten livers
marinated in
6 figure liquors
we can’t afford.

And, on the side,
Fried thighs
All only 5.99.
But it cost them
An arm and a leg
And the other arm
And leg
And a torso too!
Wanna see
what we do with the head?
Blank
Yet today’s special
Is half-off billionaires
The hock, neck, loin and jowl
Of the Orwellian pigs
Who, unanesthetized,
HOWL
As we tell them,
before the reclamation,
the richer they were
the cheaper they are.

The revolution
will be a TV dinner.

Pass the power and the pepper
to the people.

Light Cue 4. Wash up
A computer — (!)
Multiple video game systems (!!)
A home entertainment center (!!!)
VCR 1: KG INSERTS VHS → PLAY commercial
Clean floors (!?)
The full refrigerator (!!)
And stocked cabinets (!!!)
A huge, forested backyard with pheasants (!?!)
And way – way, way more legos than me.
CUE 2.5 – CONTINUE VIDEO “I’M STILL HUNGRY”
Niki rustles through Legos loudly
The cereal is so tasty and sweet
With a name I saw on TV.
CUE 3 Child: “Can I have another one?”
After 4 bowls and their inquisitive looks, I simply say, “thank you.”//

KG to center
So yeah, a dash older now
Skipping the tweens
And into the teens.
Where our real stories begin.
He smiled, lent a feathered hand
took us under his wing
And in one fell, anesthetized swoop
He clipped our wings
Clipped our wings
Our wings
OUR WINGS, wings, wings.
There was still an illusion of flight,
Safety, and life.
Yet, we spiraled down
And the ground was hard.
Real hard.
The crash opens the eyes wide.
Real wide.
Real
Wide.
This is real. Hard.
He continued to ruffle these clipped feathers
These wounded wings that eventually heal
And help Chiron fly.
Bernoulli’s Principle returns
Full force!
