homogenized people
soft-spoken and plain
look through the peephole
appear the same

in the way that they walk
talk their point of view
sticking together
dried Elmers glue

homogenized people
sneeze pasty white
life in a puddle
side with the tide

without a paddle
without a clue
of where they are going
of what they should do

homogenized people
slip-sliding away
vanilla icing
covers white cake

on the same path
early or late
homogenized people
never do stray
