Geniuses

There are geniuses spread like litter
On the sides of the road
Tossed out
Disposable plastic bags
Full of air
Weighing nothing
Blowing here and there
Changing hands collecting dust and
Every little thing you can imagine
Picked up and put in a dumpster

There are geniuses waiting for you
To place your order
Staring at the lines on your forehead
Observing the manner of your speech
Telling the people in the back
Just what they need to serve up
To accommodate your needs
You asked for no cheese
You get two slices

There are geniuses driving you home
After drunken nights
All you have to do is ask
The right questions
You vomit out the window
Getting it all over the car
The conversation changes
To the extra vomit fee
Next time you drink less

There are geniuses on a drunken night
Drunker than you
Drowned in sorrows
Of broken hearts and broken families
Swimming in the truth
As you tread in murky water
Looking for a hand to pull you in
They are all around you
Look them in the eye these geniuses
They are waiting for you
