the picture of pie

The people who sneer they are getting less
wherever they go. The picture of pie
and the one that arrives. They sneer
at the difference to show
they have not been fooled. They know
that this world is not as it's advertised.
So they advertise themselves, but I
am not fooled. They feed
on the difference that lies.
They live
upon what they're superior to,
and they are getting less,
wherever they go
than you and I
used to do.
