Cubes
When you grow up it seems like the world is meant to corral you
Everywhere people are shepherded into cubi-pens and queques
The vibrancy of the world becomes shades of grey
Because neutral tones keep people placid and docile
Even the explorer has a routine, a regimen and recipe
To modulate and plan events for maximum efficiency and the desired amount of expenditure
Cubiform bright colours and all the invented fictions of the world are become
The nursery rhymes of convention and adult interaction is metered in a playbook
I write this from a six by six grey cubicle in which two years have awarded me complacency
Every week day is more or less the same path to and from a faux-necessity
All social media has become is the highlight-reel of the 21st century self-sycophantic nature
And the drive to impress upon the self uniqueness and recapture the nuanced imagination of a child
But even lambs are herded away from wonder
Away from wondering and the wandering nature
To order and a linear graph of belonging to factions
This is why the societal attention span is a dreidel
Unable to keep up with its own spin.
