pretend to get along

don't say
that word, or that one either.
don't point,
don't judge
or act
confused.
don't roll your eyes,
or arch your
eyebrows,
don't say oh my.
don't have a mind
of your own,
or express a contradictory
opinion.
follow the lemmings
off the cliff.
you have your marching
orders.
don't
show an inkling
of amusement,
or befuddlement
at a world
gone wackadoodle.
pretend
it's normal, that it's
all okay.
then go home and lock
the doors,
pull the shades.
