invasion
when i was born a portal was opened up and out fell a new reality. they named it. they taught it to understand what all the symbols meant. they took an animal and baked it into a person. i side step the smoke screens and stare at the persons. they all watch the same channel and come away with different interpretations. they argue and fight until there is a massive reality that cannot be challenged. eventually they came upon another channel and release their massive upon the other, who did not need any injection of tea or tobacco or alcohol or renaissance art to feel anything worth the suffering. the massive gathers us all up and stand us to order, consume, produce, smile, and pay for food shelter, water, urination, entertainment and transport. the commons are uncommon. the cars of left to right more often than the page. persons scurry both ways, usually in pairs, all wrapped up to their chins pressed hard against sternums.
