Adding To The Collection

Easily persuaded 

Goaded

Influenced 

Lured

By the promise of excitement

Or a piece of the action, maybe a minute of satisfaction

Finger pinched by a door hinge 

While searching for a clue as to what you are trying to disprove 

May as well substitute orange 

Or a little mars black for the blue you might be falling through and into 

A carnival of neurotic clowns all looking for a 

Hysterical 

Slip 

Or trip 

Or plunge

Of a caramel covered tongue

You're walking, you sense the movement but you can't feel your legs 

As they stride 

Can't feel your feet as they strike the sidewalk 

Can't feel the drop off the curbside

Curl up in the gutter, no longer desire to conspire with the all the other mad mod

Friends 

Acquaintances 

or worse

 Villains running from the fire living life afraid 

To just sit awhile and detach 

From the hustle bustle preposterousness of everything that you think should be Yours to own, to set in a place of honor on a shelf in your home 

That would make it clearly known that you saw it, you liked it, you bought it 

And now you get to look at it all you like to look at it

For hours

For seconds

At a glance or

Entranced

They worked their charms and now you're trapped

In a room with another trinket to dust

That was once on a shelf in a store

But now sits on the shelf of useless things you like to adore

Hoping it will bring

Peace 

Tranquility

Serenity

A smile
