The Brutal Truth on Telling Lies

Take it from
the schoolyard charismatics:
The brutal truth on telling lies.
But whatever you do
don't bury me in a cardigan.

We perpetuate stereotypes
and fall in love
with people thrilled
with a B+ on a Final.
Can you blame us
for our love of complacency?

I consider scratching myself
'cause it would feel good
and don't.
It's too easy and doesn't match the rest.

But then again
nothing does
quite nicely.

Long walks on the beach?
The sand burns my feet.
I'll wait right here for awhile.
