491

on my planet

for Fei 

there is no this and that

you don't have cloud trees, do you?

on my planet

no one can go hungry

everything there is 100% edible

we all are

I guess you think that we're cannibals

but everyone loves to be eaten

I'm sure that you would too

if you knew

there is the hoogly

I don't think you have this

and I don't think you can understand

it isn't the face that ever speaks

there isn't a creature that cannot fly

there's no either or

your ups our out

once it was

we all could fly

even the fish

nobody needed wings

nobody knows that the others are like this

so many things you have that are not

I simply have to say

you dream only while you are sleeping

this is unimaginable

I have heard that if you find yourself dreaming

you take it to mean that you must be asleep

you have 'news'

all your voices come to us

and that is how we know

when we die heaven comes too

and you can see this every day

it's the dead things grow

like skin and nails

and what you call truth

everything below

you read books from the beginning

your greatest efforts are to remember

that's not what we chase

you play your musical instruments

on my world we are played

there's something like your numbers

machines do it all

except for what they need from us

we're the animal who sings

and we live in between printed pages

in other ways we're quite unremarkable

I think it's like this with what you call money

over time it has become lighter

it's the equal to and seems to require you

the more of it the less you see

you think of the animal others below you

but ours are machines in the air

we draw them down for conversation

I think it's because of them we're here

they are edible as well

and neither here nor there

perhaps just now you're beginning to know

that it's the mad ones rule

our word 'to rule' means mad

everything of your world I know

is from your paper and screens

you're far away so long ago

that might be our one thing in common

I can't know what else I have missed

I'm only just guessing what it is you won't have

I can't know what you won't know

I don't know what

you refuse to believe

there is no this or that

where I am

we only keep our grip

where we have been let go
