old world
the whole human family was getting cold
we shared our secrets on the internet
but we lied to the ones we shared our beds with
we were flipped around
and we pretended not to notice each other on the street
and every time you went outside it was like a divorce hearing
like a guy said to me in a hardware store in bushwick when i was stoned
“it’s like you can’t even say good afternoon to nobody no more!”
“say it to me!” i said
“good afternoon!” he smiled and said
“good afternoon!” i said and smiled
then the guy behind the counter said he had a gun back there.
“hey, this is america. you have to be careful” he said
“what the hell is that guy talking about?” the first guy said with his eyes.
i didn’t know what the hell that guy was talking about either.
but i did too, sadly.

I’m very selective about who I follow because I don’t think I can handle reading everyone’s thoughts
