CLICHÉS

Mike Berger, PhD

I love the clichés,
They keep me from taxing my brain.
I can pull my mind into the
parking terrace and let it languish.

“Have a good day,” pops out of my
mouth that is on autopilot.
No need to muse or ponder over
perfunctory departings.

“May the fleas of a thousand camels
nest in your armpits,” takes a little
more effort but pops out easily.

Who wants a scholarly exhortation,
when you ask, “How are you.” In our
MacDonaldized sociéty, clichés are
that cat’s meow.
