flatland
by cody troyan

caked pastel swirls
bedizen
periscope visions
(obstruction)
of hoped-for
ideals.

the american dream
leads to
Flatland
where no one
would know
what hit them
with a
fourth dimensional transition.

the middle class is all
too content
with its third dimension.

not-knowing is the
ultimate wisdom.

some go on believing that we know
everything
yet everything is a limited term -
rather, being is limitless
and limits are razed
&crazed conservatives
too well off with themselves
feel they are on top
when in fact they toil
&shop&dine&pray
in the bowels of true virtuoso.
