Choking on the Chicken Bone - section A4

let's make a video
about our LIVES
let's shoot it in High Definition
because
just because
and then
let's edit it with the latest software
and put in dissolves
to take away the abrupt transitions
nobody likes cold hard cuts
let's add a wonderful sound track
composed
by the best of composers
who understands the grief
and can translate it into
pudding
and chowder
and a one-two step
Arthur Murray would be proud
And in this video
we will act like actors
not like real folks
we will pretend
that we are happy
we will pretend
like we care about each other
we will
laugh on cue
smile when the time is right
and
yell CUUUUUUT CUUUT damn it CUUUTTTT!
when the scene
is too painful to
relate
