Another World (poem)


Mothers disappointed in their sons who want to become billionaires.

Schools that teach people to be bad salespeople.

Armies that teach recruits to hang out, shoot the breeze and read poetry.

Armies that teach recruits to settle disputes with games of chess or singing competitions. Or dance offs.

Churches that admit the Bible is weird stories.

Churches that admit you'll probably never see or have a two-way conversation with "the man upstairs," but that's OK because it is the desire to reach the divine that is the divine in us.

Churches that admit "the man upstairs" isn't a man.

Gun ranges for squirt guns.

Ad agencies who create ads unrelated to products or services.

Marketing that reminds you of how you are already whole.

Stores that serve as places of exchange or just presence.
