Peace Condominium

of course there are absurd mornings
for example this one where the rain gives in
the sun shines displayed
and it's almost may
can i keep the weapons
collect the traps
is the security of solid wednesdays
I already knew that we would be saved
when the mall next door closed
but my old neighbor is still bloodthirsty
insulting the janitor
there is something proverbial with these two
a cruel clash between generations
as for me, I stopped being a rebel
I don't press all the elevator buttons anymore
now I almost separate the dry waste from the organic
I greet everyone falsely
and with the guide half loose
I walk my fierce dog.

You left me chuckling with this one, Marco. So, glad to hear you've stopped being a rebel, though I scarcely believe it. And stopping pressing all the elevator buttons is not a clear indication you've normalized. (still chucking)
