there's protests and colors on flags and I miss
someone but I think it's in my head
and I love the oranges here
and the tea as it slides down my neck
"mint" "menthe" "nyah nyah"
it's all the same meaning

Enforced compliance
wouldn't want anything bad
to happen to you

It's a gangster run
symposium that somehow
makes you think your free
