What do I say?
What do I say to the man on the high street,
who spent his money and devotes his time,
handing out leaflets and making eye contact,
who erected a banner twice his own size,
imploring ‘Join the Global Awakening!’,
and signalling to all the passersby,
that his true calling in life is to spread
his ‘own research’ and ‘damning evidence’
against vaccination and the lizard people.
Do I say ‘get a life’ and smirk smugly,
do I say ‘fuck off’ and give a scowl?
What do I say? I say nothing, because to
engage is to be brought down to his level
of misery and moping, while in the world
beyond there’s so much to love and enjoy.
