There Is An Error Poem by RIC BASTASA

You cannot enter
There is no access
There is a problem
You get disconnected

No problem
I’ll change my face
I’ll take some fingers
From my hands
I’ll take the eyeballs
And take yours
I will rearrange my
Hair and nose and mouth
And realign my teeth

I’ll get your thumb marks
And gee!
I look like you in almost
Everything and
Gee!
I now appear like I am thinking
Like you

Now I will enter now I will get access
There will be no problem
I look like you and think like you

Welcome progress welcome peace
Welcome to uniformity welcome to loss of identity

Welcome to your definition of democracy.
