world peace

after spending
an evening at the
mall downtown,
shopping with my
wife and
having dinner,

i was struck
with the fact
that i am an
american of
irish and flemish
decent who

drives a german car

uses middle eastern
and venezuelan oil

just bought french,
japanese and
canadian

likes to eat mexican
and indian and
greek

has a wardrobe full
of indonesian and
taiwanese and
bangladeshi

and, when she is
in the right
mood, sometimes sleeps
with an italian.

i’m just doing
my part to promote
world peace.
