Getting The Message



So taking dimmed views of actual reality usually 
sells much thinner gruel: altho we’d been duped 
into a scene where a delivered cuisine’s claimed 
unequivocally equal, as the ‘fair’s-fair’ rule goes, 
we now know it ne’er e’en came close as they’d 
deconstructed fidelity for dreamlike sequencing, 
things you want to believe, rather than hardcore 
& measurable events - like better signal delivery 

And so that Telco who couldn’t give a damn for 
being seen up there with th’ faeries actually has 
the better mobile phone signal carrier coverage 
we’d sought, but they didn’t play archaic rimes 
with sales delivery; so out here in th’ boonies is 
where truth exists when everything’s compared 

And we’ll eat humble pie, plead for forgiveness, 
request they take us contrite deserter-rats back 
into th’ fold - who knows, maybe they’ll see it a 
significant victory…
