Title: Hollow People

Hollow people
That thin veneer of realism
Showy painted exteriors
Empty inside

Spooned out glazed potato skins
Filled with horse shit and perfume
Garnished with twinkling fakery
A hollow bubble grows inside

Hollow puppets
Made of recycled plastic
Fixed shit eating smiles
Pulling on each other's strings
