Jesus in the Glass Elevator (E. Herd)
Have you had enough
of gold Jesus in the Glass Elevator
looking down at you
Have you had enough
of shiny TV correspondents
bloviating on the blessed lives of celebrities
before you brush your teeth
Have you had enough
of lawns that keep growing
that you can’t afford to upkeep
what’s the grass for anyway?
Have you had enough
of 15 flavors of Triscuits, including:
Original
Cracked Pepper & Olive Oil
Reduced Fat
Hint of Salt
Rosemary & Olive Oil
Dill, Sea Salt, & Olive Oil
Roasted Garlic
Fire Roasted Tomato & Olive Oil
Garden Herb
Rye with Caraway Seeds
Why fifteen?
Have you had enough
of too much
enough of hearing “amazing”
when it’s not
enough is enough

You’re right – there’s too much noise, even from inanimate objects.
