Welcome to Reality

copter blades
on open parade
no one else
left to persuade

the scintilating
noise of the blades
hypnotises all
who watch
and all who listen

while
down on the floor
the grass does glisten

why
can't I find
a telephone
when I feel like this
how come
no genie
appears
to offer me three wishes
