be humankind.
i'm a thing made
of time
-lag, culture shock, zone shift.
where thoughts are unpaid lodgers
mind invaders
occupying crowded, minded streets in my head
spilling onto roads without maps
wearing jaded tee
shirts with
three blue buttons up the throat.
read the label: unfortunately
my clothes are made of monosodium glutamate
and hexachlorophene.
my food is made of polyester, rayon and
lurex.
I am mad
e.
heard that to be humankind is to tolerate beyond the
daily grind.
the tunnel’s throat swells with frosty
aftershave, fumes and foul mouths.
stand clear of the closing doors, please.
we dive deep
-er under a duvet of stars.
nyc has a hang-over
london has jet-lag
we all have culture shock
doing everything the wrong way at the wrong
time
staring from windows double glazed with
dirt.
