To our subconscious drives we remain eternal slaves;
unwilling spectators to a severe winners-only game
like everyday we must entertain a crucial stage-play,
an acid-test masquerade melee,
an unrehearsed monologue shot in only one take,
no make-up, no wardrobe, and no precautionary tape-delay,
no mask for the face no fake flavored taste,
no additives, no preservatives and no period of grace,
no feigned dramatic waste from attention-starved flakes
who masturbate their lives away and fantasize wide awake
