Hi How Are You

 

By DJ Berndt

 

it is a free country
but one day we will live
in outer space maybe.

the doctor just left
and my mom is
turned away from me
I think she is only
crying because she
is tired of talking.

there is a song that
sounds happy
coming from the lobby
and I can hear
nurses singing along.

this is when I decide that
for the next three minutes
I am going to pretend
that I don't know how
to speak english well.

this is still boring to me.
