Did you know that the reflection of hair that has fallen in full into the bottom of the bowl
Or flight deck sales in a microscope
They’re building bigger and better swingsets
These days thanks to investing a good deal of money
Old man volunteers are coming by the hundreds
Just to erect one swingset but
You know you gotta come fight
When your competition is theme parks
And VR
And skateboards
As a dead rhythm guitarist once said,
“This is the 2000s and they’re showing blind dates on TV.”

God is a felt suit character at Disneyland
They can pretend that dehydrated ice cream is passe
Kelloggs is giving away Apple laptops with 10 cents to the boxtop
They’re cloning sheep with limbs that pick up better than the torso
Where are the 8bit entertainment systems?
Where are the Pick Up Sticks, Lincoln Logs and LEGO, Candyland and Clue?

The kids aren’t playing tag anymore
They’re jumping off bridges blindfolded with extra lengthy bungee cords
I used to eat cream cheese and onion sandwiches on pita bread
And paint those pictures of God as a golden lion’s head
In front of stars of David
