We are the alien
not them
we're the interloper
not the fifty a boat
across the channel
half of us can't speak our own language
and half of us cannot communicate
and half of us can't do the maths
three cheers for the three halfs
and the fourth half can't pluralise.

we should all wear a ******' mask
to hide the shame
