dive into the blue light
borrow my dreams
let's get stuck together
and chuckle
at our human upholstery
nobody 2
we are born aliens
we share an alien humanity
a potential to circumvent our alien nature
in honour of the very few that manage this transitional grace/we call upon them for their leadership
the woman who tends her child on a garbage heap/and sells her body for scrap iron/to later trade it for food
the man who disperses a pack of starved wolves/by sitting down in their midst/putting his skinny bones up for offer
the little girl/who stares out of the sickness she is condemned for/with only compassion for those who seek her demise
the boy who leaps into the volcano to save the village he comes from
we are born onto a virgin mothership
in our alien mirrors we write nothing/we hold feathers/but can not draw ink
in our alien passports/we collect alien stamps
in our alien baths/we leave alien rings
in our alien banks/we trust our alien money
in our alien lives/we suffer an alien sorrow.
the true alien we find/when we know we are aliens too/is a human alien

"I told you so"
What a celebrity showcasing his bedroom on national television might as well be saying instead of «this is where the magic happens».
«This is where I sleep. Alone.»
«This is where suppression begins.»
«This is where I bring prostitutes.»
«This is where maintaining a heterosexual poster boy image to sell millions of [insert commodity here] to millions of people, while I secretly fraternise with men in parks, at night, is really put to the test. I call this room Narnia.»
«This is where the magic happens. The full three minutes of it.»
«This is where the maid cleans three times a week, while I sleep in generic hotel rooms. In fact, this is the first time I've been in here.»
«This is where I cry.»
«This is where I eat the majority of my dinners.»
