"The Name of This Poem Is"



I imagine that life is a road
Let me start over
I imagine that life is a swirling
cloud of moths hovering
over an (almost) brand new
Cadillac 

I imagine that life 
is just a series of parties
where people ingest gold
and try to one-up their
neighbors by having
a bigger swimming pool

I imagine, I'm sorry, WE imagine
that life is...
Sorry
It's hard to focus when you 
make that clicking sound
with your teeth

Sorry, not your teeth

I meant to say
Your childhood
