In a middle-class drama

 

I would like to slice my tie

And throw its pieces on you

 

I would like to eat

Using my hands at your table

Laughing in a natural way

 

I wish I could not hear 

Clanging my chains

When I move on slowly

 

You also hear them

But you won’t listen to them

for they are your own chains too!

 

We so spend our lives

playing a drama

somebody else has written

just for ourselves.
