Dumb it down,

dumb it down even further.

One more notch,

one more step for this

must be heard

and understood by

absolutely everyone.

 

Draw it down,

draw it down, now

even further.

I want this to touch you,

reach you,

and meet you

inside.

 

Drop it down

to the bottom,

scraping at the floor,

with your fingertips

all cracked and bleeding;

licking the tiles.

 

I want you all

to taste it.

Taste it,

all you wasted,

witless,

sycophants.
