ORNAMENTS
You have made a sanctuary
Of Etiquette and Propriety
And places not to stand
On the carpets
With your shoes on
And surfaces that must be wiped microscopically
At every touch of human hand.
And you are so proud of all your things
And you are so loud in your meticulous opinions
On how to better run the country
Though you barely ever ever go out anymore
You just stay in
Collecting ornaments that nobody likes
But you keep dusting, and dusting.
Ornaments that nobody likes
But you keep dusting.
And there are Rules and there are Regulations
That you uphold with the rigour of a general
Going into war
Though you barely ever ever have guests anymore
Not anymore.
And you are so proud of all your Things
And you are so loud in your
Eloquently documented views on how
Everyone else is wrong while you are right:
You are always right.
And you are so old now.
And your sight is diminished
To the narrowest point of view
That keeps you safe and sounf
In the house
Collecting ornaments that nobody likes
But you keep dusting, and dusting.
Ornaments that nobody likes
But you keep dusting.
Nobody likes your ornaments
Nobody likes your ornaments
Nobody likes, nobody likes
Nobody likes your ornaments
Nobody likes them.
Dust away the touch of human contamination.
Dust, dust, dust.
