Page 22 — John Grey


parallel universe


parallel universe
brand new
same old same old


drive by the dump
my chauffeur’s predecessor
waves a metal arm


raised by Zobians
bullied at school
for only having one head


planet with six moons
only been here three weeks
already have a favorite


robot warfare –
a corresponding rise
in sales of death metal
