I hate Mr. Jones
the lies that he tells
perfect pretty people
happiness sells

Also annoying me
regularly
is the life
of dear Mr. Smith
between him and his wife
never a tiff

Under such green grass
I know there lies dirt
do they know it?
or care?
do they ever feel hurt?

Perfect they are
better everyday
makes me feel less
when they live that way

they make it seem quite feasible
spinning their perfect reality
don't they see it is never achievable
for other people like me

I wish to see them angry
be loud scream shout
I want to wrinkle their shirts
I want to dirty their house

make them real
more like you and me
rumpled confused
so human they'll be
