we are always wrapped up in the stories we have been told
those that have been repeated
until it becomes as familiar as a friend
we absorb them just by looking at images
like a gas
the US leaked
in through the TV
ultra mind control
remote
even people who never set foot there
but it occupies a space in one's mind
a virtual space
a lie
it's all lies
even the true bits
an image came up
an aerial view
and i thought, it's new york
that's manhattan
i think i even know the districts
i know it better than my home town
i've never been there but
that must be brooklyn off to the east
and queens up north
photo must be post-9/11
there's the empire state
there's the center of the universe
maybe the world is flat after all
how do you know anything?
and who the fuck are you anyway?
