We’ve lived in an Alice in Wonderland world for 60 years,
a place where up is down and down is in another time zone.
And what’s that book you're reading? The Elements of Fascism is it?
In which it states, "marginalize what is normal and make it abnormal,
then criminalize what used to be normal."
It’s the little things at first and then the language police arrive at your door,
anonymous informants have turned you in. No search warrant needed
when dealing with the crime of speaking the wrong language.
So, we’re standing around Hell’s airport, staring at Cancelled Departures,
and then I see where it’s written in tiny letters,
"there’s no exit from this place.”
"Be seeing you," I say to the others as I return home.
