A Happy Substitute

You carve mountains of mud
Build havens right into heavens
You say your prayers to social networks
Dream up your music note after note
I kiss and pout, tinted and filtered
Snapshots of happiness, a happy substitute of
Smells from a far away kitchen, warm sweat,
Paper wrapped treats for the afternoon
Spent under inane, mundane, arcane sunlight
Seven-year old’s timeless rituals of flowers
in sand tombs of ants sacrificed in the garden
Now you dig trenches to throw your trash
And sculpt beauty in recycled plastic
