The Bacon Cat Legging Society

In a world that is mindful and demure

I want to live out loud

and love boldly

in shades that would make the 90s proud.

In a world that is socially synthetic

I want to share

the iridescent fragments of my soul

so that I am candidly known,

and every facet of me seen reflected

in your eyes

In a world that is material

I want to be ethereal

and rise above the noise

and the chaos

like frost-bitten fog on the mountains

I want to open up the depths of me

not to cause chaos, like a tsunami,

but simply,

to make a splash
