World citizens run around
Busy parasites in the thin crust
of earth
kept at work by her
and digested in her. She sweats decay
from her pores, a delicious smell
healthy to live in, but intoxicating:
some think they are astronauts
on spaceship Earth
They race nearly 800,000 kilometres
per hour along with the sun, spinning
a pirouette at 1,670 kilometres
per hour. Say them goodbye
adieu, whatever that means
wish them a pleasant journey
to heaven
and upon arrival the realization
that they already were there
Adieu = à Dieu (vos comant) = to God (I recommend you)
