The Quarantine Chronicles, Day 63

DAY 63: A year of magical thinking

and happy talk --

I CAN'T TAKE IT ANY MORE!

it's almost over, we'll be okay

the human sacrifice

has been made, the price to pay

magical thinking and happy talk

let's reopen our mouths

and let it all come crashing out

the criticism, the hate, come crashing in

you say, it's reckless

unconscionable?

but, listen, we CAN'T! TAKE! IT! ANY! MORE!

so we're gonna force back

normality, open the bars

like after prohibition

what a celebration!

let's get livin'

jivin' an' divin', high-fivin'

somebody's gonna die

but it won't be me 'cause

I have my magical thinking

and happy talk TV

happy talk reality

we're finally inside

a world of reality TV

we live next to the Bradys

with Truman and Trump

an eternal blue sky

and a required mass suicide

     got to keep the customer satisfied

     so satisfied.
