20:20 Pear Vision
They lived in a blunt era
inhabited by clique
lovers clam
taxers everyone
in to make a buck
driven by red gumption
rule recall
wrong numbers
utter surveillance
no one out
to make time
cheer quartz
admire lace fog
every solution simple
every situation complex
and therefore better left alone
Their era had been foretold
but deemed inconceivable undesirable
yet here it was : a time
of bereft firs
brushed boulders
sly oozing slag
and commercially resplendent karma
marketed with greater mutations
to masses with naturally
shorter lifespans
This was a time of forgotten pear faith
enhanced by recessive austerity
pleasures all grind and leer
chipped logs chain land
big lux bent law
continuous thin din
webs of perversity
that stick and cloy
congeal in memes
for weary masses
such a simple deal:
just zonk-it!
flashes every screen
lie back, relax…
you’ve done enough
all will be taken care of
With the sodium prophecy
nigh edible oil products
and cellular frequency
it hardly mattered
if the glycemic index
too
was sinisterly high
nothing much was itself
Propitiously there were still
in tuitive im perative humans
who fostered faith in t r y ing
worked to fend off the hiss
of zonkit static and toxic
lying and see again
the sensuous
beauty
in
the
shape
of pears
