Pallet

All those films that you have watched
twenty four frames a second
load the pallet

all those books that you consumed
every page a-flutter
load the pallet

all that music in your head
spinning ephemera
load the pallet

all the culture you imbibe
fortifies your swagger
load the pallet

now your tastes have been effaced
spat out, stacked, sent packing,
now your tongues don't run so long
what's there left to tell?

all approval you admit
all the criticism
load the pallet

all the arguments you win
don't improve a thing
load the pallet

now your tastes have been effaced
spat out, stacked, sent packing,
now your tongues don't run so long
what's there left to tell?
