you become a
fat serial killer
you eat the
monkey shoes
you lead an
army of cosmopolitan
parasites in love
with monster nails
you shy away from
a crowd of funerals
crying for justice
in suits of black
you take away
the cups in food courts
and never return
borrowed books
you are an actor
who doesn’t watch
your own movies and
acts so badly
you are the foreigner
in the land where
everyone talks in
alien language and die
2014
