Lovely People

As i stare into space                                                                                              a beautiful woman says                                                                              

“Life is so beautiful”.

I chuckle a response

“At least it is not hard.”

She smiles,

“Yes it cracks                                                                                                                your heart wide open”.

As we look to the east                                                                                          hungry people huddle                                                                                       under cardboard

there only shelter against the heat.

“The only thing worse than being exploited                                                            by capitalism is not being exploited by capitalism”.

Does signing an online petition count as civil disobedience?

*****

My girlfriend from Shang Hai touches my shoulder and says

“I have a new boyfriend from “chicken” in Europe.”

I say, “You mean Turkey.”

She says, “Yes” and that she is a little embarrassed                                     about being naked at the pool.

The commodification of social interaction ends with intelligent discourse.

“Don’t eat at Denny’s” I write at MacDonalds.

As the population ages the fun begins.

We are all actors
