Yorick Speaks Out of Place and Time

A yellow brick, a metaphor of time
A time for metaphors that mark the way
Oh Dorothy! Is there nothing else sublime
Sublimity is more than bricks you say

That’s deep, you bitch. Just give it to me straight
As straight as simple lies or simple storms
Your wonderland is strange and yes, you’re late
And yet you deviate from all the norms

Your deviance, a holy trinity
Becomes the way you live when you are lost
So, trade it in for silver liberty
And pray to god you never learn the cost

The cost of every yellow brick you find
Is paid by someone else’s simple mind.
