Anodyne

Suffering life’s gift basket

Pacifying the suffering with distraction

The marketing backbone of America

Soothe with mindless distraction

Alternative feelings the precious mood altering

Focus the on pleasure, run from the rest

Pleasure is greed, gluttony at its most personal

Greed for something else, bring relief

Anything to relieve the suffering (pain / fear)

The something else becomes a point of desire

Desire diminishes the fears, removes the pain

Temporarily

Cake, Cocaine, Crown Royal, AA

All objects of desire, possible stability

And of non-reality

Forms of attachment binding us to fantasy

Concentration, for only 5 minutes

Relieves at an altered level, creative manifestation

Desiring the kryptonite

Shunning his might

Practicing the simplicity of non-reality
