Born whole but quickly made to be
unwholly in the world
We were alright up until suddenly,
a word appeared after another, and
after a thought.
We only wanted to be touched and fed,
but now what we want can't even be named
or given up
And every shiny new brand that we love,
becomes the perfect new little object
that we must have
The only time we laugh is when we cry,
because it's sad and it's happy when a
perfect word dies
My teacher's new apple didn't
fall from a tree
It was picked by my cousin who
lives like a flea
My sisters new boyfriend smells like
a plastic tree
He gave my mother a turkey
on Thanksgiving
Born whole and we're
quickly made to be
Unwholly in the world;
always incomplete
Land ho! But always out of reach
And always made of teeth |
