shadow box

panic at the disco, brimstone  
armegeddon's over, touchdown dance, endzone  
tip-toe through the tulips, bullets, and primrose  
sipping to the sickness, new dawn, mimosa  
raise a toast to the robot and his potion  
auto hack the gadgetry  
like you're spose'd to  
 
but what most do:  
 
blue pill, comatose, iphone  
new app, perpetual madness, ringtone  
sword stuck in stone  
hypo spiked to bone  
plan B: morose poems  
halflife, methadone  
 
the paradigm condones the impatience  
weak art laid to waste  
at the wine tasting  
 
bezerker work  
flirt with the endtime  
school girl, dropped skirt  
 
convert the mundane to ethanol  
murder the empath at the impasse  
and the diseased stars with propofol  
the next show has started at climax  
open audition, closed curtain, role call
