Images of births, deaths and marriages where the price of a crisis is free and according to Facebook will always be,
but will we always be we?

condensed into communities for safety, they say,
to keep outside influences far away, they say,
one day they'll introduce a key to lock our minds
and will we still be we then?

but it's not all doom
there's room for fun
today I read that it was
international leotards day
and thought my ship had come in
then I put my glasses on
and read
it was international leopards day
and the tide went out

and
because Tuesday is a trick
to make you think the week
is going quick,
applaud the magician.

I'm going to see the mortician
oops, I mean the
optician and get these glasses fixed.
