We all deal
with your curb appeal
& oatmeal grade ideals
Invariable, partitioned
false-front
postures...
stand shotgun
as if picket fence
facades
would deter wolves
Status quo
doughy showings
flow
Whitewashed wonderbread
vanilla memos
get yeasty
& overblown
So...
go update your status
with another pasty quote
Tiptoeing
with willow bough
presence
bowing
to curl with the goats
Admitting acquiescence;
And never...
leaving
the boat
with your curb appeal
& oatmeal grade ideals
Invariable, partitioned
false-front
postures...
stand shotgun
as if picket fence
facades
would deter wolves
Status quo
doughy showings
flow
Whitewashed wonderbread

misrepresentations of salesman
but who wants to project wearing a rag (unless it is the 'in' fashion)?
you cause me to ponder on some thoughts, lady!

Yes, safe in the box. It's difficult to connect with such, they have little of their own to contribute.
It is a lot to think about...and how we all have areas of safety we never relinquish.

i'm really digging that second stanza -
"Invariable, partitioned
false-front
postures...
stand shotgun
as if picket fence
facades
would deter wolves "
i feel this write is about people being fake,liars, putting up walls waiting for you to figure out they were fake, just like in the original dawn of the dead movie.
then the walls go tumbling
tumbling
trade me in for whatever your selling that day.
great write.
