Impossible things are happening
human marsupials sort of
wandering around my neighbourhood
legally defined as normal adults
with their addicted adolescent sidekicks
all of them gestating not babies
but clever new electronic devices
in their cool and drooping pouches
They keep walking and walking
but they can’t find whatever it is
they claim they’re looking for
they’re restless automatons sort of
no longer comfortable in their skins
something got into the water
something got into the food
something got into the air
Guess I’ll have to live with it
what other choice do I have
as long as my feet are on the ground
as long as my head is in the clouds
as long as my heart is in my throat
but will someone please tell me
what’s really going on here
are we still human beings sort of
Or what
