eyes of mars
the eyes of mars
bare down on me
filling me with atomic protoculture
energy
i look upon the puny micronian
earth creatures
with contempt and confusion
why do they fret so?
why do they feel the need to
have money?
why do they make a cruel game
out of love?
why anger
why prejudice
why
then the culture infects me
i become them
hustle bustle
make money for my own gains
make passes at females
i do these things
but god help me if i understand
why
