Mired in Mirage

There was a second when Convention and her wastrel cousin The High Pretense of Concern lapsed into anxiety lapsed into terror while you whirled I could see broken glass on the sand  seconds before your pedicured foot plunged down and down.  I knew that the glass was irrelevant you were sinking into quicksand  I could no longer dig you out with my toy shovel  I couldn't have known that others were watching  one would snatch you from the sand  lock you in the trunk  of his limited desires   smash glass with his own foot in a covenant of blood The end of this dim adventure was given to me in pieces after the ceremony there was not much left for scrapbooks  you are powerless to even speak to me of  earlier journeys The last time I saw you you were tied up in apron lacquered to a spinning kitchen floor head held on with velcro grinning
