I listen to Radiohead
when I contemplate killing you—
I want to smash your glass and
get at the inside of your meaning.
Shells tell different truths—
look at me.
See,
I’m right and tight
with my plastic teeth,
and painted eyes that never blink.
We mislead, you and me.

When I read this, “a dance of dolls” came to mind. The ending felt like a familiar feeling, for better or for worse, depends on the day. In any case, a killer poem!

For real, I think we should have emoji jobs designing emojis. We know what the people want!

No kidding. We so do. And when you say “people” you mean us, right? LOL. And when those others see how awesome they are, naturally they will catch on.
