even though you feel like

look at you
dressed like a human being
hair cut like a human being
you look like a human being
but you feel like
some little squirrel
with his paws in the air
begging for scraps
from a human being
which is what you are
even though you feel like

some sleazy sad-eyed rodent
in the middle of a maze
wishing he could go back
to the pirate ship
see those people out there?
you are one of them
even though you feel like

a scrawny tourist seagull
standing nervously on a pier
made of sea worn wooden planks
about a hundred years ago
you're looking for some food
it's there among the garbage
left by all those human beings
which, by the way,
is your species on this planet
you are one of its members
even though you feel like

something that does not
resemble you
in any fuckin' way
