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…
