Sugar-coated because you gag and up-chuck what’s assertive. Here comes what’s good for you… swallow what’s tangible! Take in what’s been served [so] many times [before]. Marvel the matter until it’s no longer marvelous. Comprehend?! Or will you perverse my words [yet] again?! This is so fragile I’m struggling to find the balance betwixt vague and specific, subtle and blatant to wean us off our foolish behavior. As we open our minds, we open the skies. Dear dreamer, stop gazing up, Heaven is “now” on Earth.

My favorite line of this poem is "as we open our minds we open the skies" because it makes me think about how our imaginations are limitless, and how we are capable of anything.
