the placebo effect

the problem is,
is that this world
continuously gets sucked
through
our ears and eyes,
causing derailments
and explosions in our brains.

we couldn't avoid this if we tried.

we are the distraction
and we are the fix,
the curiosity
brought upon
by some god's experiment.

it's no wonder
why
this is a planet stacked with
junkies and dreamers
and fundamentalists,
searching for some kind of
cure,
when really
this is only the placebo.
