The vision of people is determined by how far they can see
For us, it's about a hundred meters

We have baby blue lead buddhas
Mooncakes made out of italian ice cream
Cowboys on silicon horses
Pretty girls that used to be ugly

Basically clothes made out of food
Houses made out of vehicles

We just have to remind our smartphones to remind us
To consume more
Otherwise we'll miss out on all the fun.

Chinese Bone Setter Clinic Window Display 跌打館

The heavens are dark
But I'm not afraid of the vultures covering the sky cause there's a scarecrow
Nor death
Because the lame plastic skeletons we have everywhere are not even real bones
Plastic can kill though
Its fumes, toxic chemicals, greedy science, etc.
All we have to do is to get the skeleton manufacturers to start using real bones
But too late
Maybe because of plastic, there isn't enough calcium in modern bones anymore
There is not enough structure in death anymore
Nowadays, even death can't stand up
Even death needs to be manufactured.
