Effective Dysfunction

Lie about everything

then watch them waste all their time

proving you a liar.

After awhile

everyone will forget all the lies

but they will remember you.

A Decade Later

Quiet and serene

where never a scream

can be heard

a beast sits

with brush in hand

trying to paint

the lies away,

shocking and awing

every passer-by.

Dow Jones Sideshow

The clown with the balloon 
blows and blows 
like there’s no end in sight 

and circling him all around 
jumping up and down
kiddies squeal with delight.
