Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for July 03, 2024

Don’t even remind me of the under-the-bed toys, they’re too far gone.

All floor toys are beneath being shown in public.

I hope they meet Dill now.

And dried spit-up from years passed.

All of the garage and basement toys cry out for you in the night.

Poly-fil is probably kind of crusty.

Like that time my cousin chewed the face paint off off my merman (from HeMan) action figure. I also learned that day that my grandmother lusted after Skeletor for his muscular body – despite having a skull for a head.

Oh, the cruel hierarchy of toyland.

The toy caste system is extremely strict!

Picky, picky.
