Apollutopia
there is no utopia
therefore don’t toil to find one
all mortals will someday go there
no one knows where that place is
since this world is dystopia
i like to go and live my life where
no one who looks like me stalks the streets
while looking down on me with contempt
but not heterotopia
because the creatures of the sphere
won’t accept a stranger from another world
or simply ignore me just like incognizant of the invisible man
my utopia is apollutopia
once it existed but now is lost
therefore i can walk not in the world of the imaginary
but where i can share nostalgic memoirs with no fear
Note. Apollutopia is a compound word from Greek, apollomi and topos, created for this poem. Which means Lost Place.
