they said
i should not have
thrown the Baby with the bathwater…
but the baby, i said
was…
…stillborn
they said
the icing on the cake
was scrumptious
but the cake, i said…
was…
…a mud cake
they said
look away
the emperor is naked
but looking away, I said…
is…
…not blindness
i am Tired, tired, very tired
of bathing dead babies
eating bad cake
and neck pains caused by naked emperors
