FANTASIAMERIQUE

by shaun lawton

As you've guessed, 

this is a narrative 
told from an untrust-
worthy source, but I 
ask you, in all honesty: 
how much better 
is your trusted source? 
I thought so. Now back 
to the factual approach. 
You may not know me, 
but I'll prove to you that 
what I say is true; by the 
time I finish this sentence, 
which in and of itself 
reflects there is a thought 
to be thought of--otherwise 
how could I write it out-?
-I will have shown with 
refutable precision that 
even the most common 
thoughts of a six year old
are mere companions 
to a host of boiling 
imaginings, and that its those 
catapulted into fortune 
who get to be considered 
lucky by their less well to do 
brethren (when they're anything 
but) that end up getting what -?
-because everyone knows 
no matter which way the 
wind blows, it's who you 
know, don't you know-?
-and how to show your 
feelings to those in the 
know who know you know 
they know--if you know 
what I'm saying--is that 
the whole point of playing 
their game-? -even though 
its been the same old game 
since Eden came, it's like 
praying, children's laughter, 
like a lancing wound, or a 
short disaster in a preaching 
mood, there's no worse food 
in terms of nutritional value, 
so the thing to do is let them 
laugh at you -?- I don't think 
so, not where I come from, no; 
so how about you look down 
your street, can you tell me 
where its open ends meet-? 
-and please share the secret here 
with the rest of us until we 
dare remember that when 
our priorities begin getting 
way too stacked forgiveness 
will dissolve them
just like that...
