It Is Funny

it is funny.

outside they are

having a political rally.

fiery speeches

in multiple languages 

are delivered,

cute cover songs 

with angry lyrics

are sung,

familiar slogans

not yet aged

are shouted.

but here i am

in this apartment

very aware of 

what’s happening outside

passionately writing 

poem after poem

non-stop for 

few hours already

since i arrive home from work,

have forgotten dinner

and the shower too,

and i’m only clad 

in my underwear!

damn, it is funny.
