Antipodes
everything is a grand illusion
and from far away it's strange to see
the way they interact with cutlery
what phases of the moon influence their neuroses
and the rituals of self-destruction
which in every way resembles ours
they also believe in lowering the sidewalks
in the consumption of vegetables for a better life
nails grow the same
here and on the other side of this lie
we're tired of the same games without wins
trying to unravel molecular structures
not knowing how to tie shoes
there on the other side of the world
are the ones we could have been
subjugated by the same plastic gods
chained to health plans
hateful obese oily
swallowing this life's recycled oil
that we wanted without pain
