To-day is a dancing day
A day of fruitcake and marshmallows with black tall hats
An afternoon of laughter
splattered with blissful ignorance
of mellow melancholy with a side dish of fricasseed pineapple
Jump through the spotted jump rope
loot the empty merry-go-round
Toss your worries into the vacuum of space
Forget them with the essence of mercury
Listen to the luscious lavender perfume
grow forget-me-nots in your enemy's garden

To-day is a screaming day
A day of panic and fear with a shiny butcher knife
A twilight of eternal silence
Covered with ignorant bliss
of mind-controlling anxiety with an entrée of escargot
Fly through the stripped prison bars
plunder through the scared sacred sanctuary
throw your smiles into a plastic bag
Forget them with ease
Echo to the rotting ravaged flesh
Kill the daisies in the secret garden

WHAT IS TODAY?
