A Taste Of Nirvana

Come to where silence can be found
for the midnight screams you can’t escape
because this is the sanctuary of the mind
dipped in the cosmic stew of ageless truths,
carefully cloaked behind
a tapestry of malls, streets
and quiet middle class neighborhoods.

But come and savor the irony
of wisdom mixed with subtle eccentricities
like the crystal orb of omniscience you can rent
while having a frosty at the mall’s Dairy Queen.

Then wander among the remnants of dreams,
hear the ghosts of pioneers speak their tales
before having a barbecue meal at Sizzler,
which will inspire visions
even if they are all covered in sauce.

Oh there is so much more that awaits,
the sleepy knolls where fairies play,
next to the orange groves and city reservoir
where magic can be acquired
by filling out a form,
which you give to a plastic snowman
who is supposedly a sleeping alien.

Course you can always go
over to the Cineplex
because it is where witches and wizards rule,
be careful about eating the popcorn,
they love changing it into something bizarre.

Once you’ve visited all those fabulous sights
drop by the video store,
they have lots of DVD’s
that will help it all make sense
even if they do cause dementia at times.
