Audiences of paper cutouts,
inflated importance flailing,
every clap and cheer automated
to follow the whims of the creator;
clap clap cheer clap
clap clap sheer
โ€“ lunacy;

(clap clap cheer clap)

latex dolls, inflatable joys,
toys that speak in unknown tongues
a rope to safer shores;

(clap clap cheer clap)

silent confession booths
hierarchical and patriarchal,
we went hand in hand
faithless and unbound,
clapping all the way;

(clap clap cheer clap)

we barked at the moon,
until you began
your moaning intonation
โ€” of deflation.

(clap)
