I hate this New World
that’s the exact same
as the old one.
Everyone has a part to play,
and they hold onto their parts
because what else is there
to hold onto?
Your hair falls out.
Your teeth fall out.
But how pretty you’ll be
when you glue them back
in.
It’s a sin, all of it,
struggling inside on a cellular
level, but yet they laugh
because
it’s too soon
to cry.
