Not in the same boat,
never the same boat. Not
until the poor come
into the house of the rich
do the rich even
notice
that the poor exist.
that the poor exist.
They wash up
on the rocks
of Lesbos
in orange inflated
jackets, weeping,
crying out
thanks to their God.
Same scale, but not
the same notes. We live
in the same
time, but we don't
live in the same world,
they say.
We breathe the same
air, but only after you
have breathed it first,
and you always found it easier
not to go there,
never to know.
