I am but a stone in the garden that is your awareness
I am a forgettable thought in your universe of ideas
I am easily dismissed like sand beneath your feet as you walk through the desert
Or overlooked like a puddle you step in during a rainy day
Without fail I am avoided like an obstacle in your path
Your gaze never breaking away from what lies ahead beyond the horizon
Your stride never slowing as you move from now to then–
Even though I am dressed like a giant turkey
And screeching GOBBLE GOBBLE from the top of my lungs!
For you are the epitome of laser-guided focus
The smartest bomb in the room
No nonsense
Take no prisoners
Play for keeps
You are not distracted by my costumed games
Now all I want is my money back
Because you wouldn’t even laugh at me
