In the twenty-first century
In the twenty-first century
it is no longer sufficient
to wear your heart
on your sleeve.
You must also
wear your large intestine
as a belt,
wear your small intestine
as a scarf,
carry your mind
as a handbag
to hold your worries,
and don your stomach
as a vest.
Your skin is
naturally
your suit.
It holds the outfit together.
In the twenty-first century
everything must be understandable
at a glance,
so no one has to take the time
or put down their blackberry
to actually look.
This a wonderful comment on 21st century American society. You hit the nail on the head.
