to political tourists

welcome to our district
foreign world in the weirdest continent
enter with open-hearted
we serve the shabby theatrical
the worst acting as entertainment

this is not a place where trust comes first
or cater marginalize’s hopes
this is the place we, the liars
exhibit the odd words
this is the warehouse of promises
this is the field without propriety
look at us clawing and seizing at each other
fight for power and respect

welcome
to our whimsical continent
we never regret
for what we like
as politic is our life
happy savoring feud
and our borderless banter

come and see by yourself
how we play with rhetoric
and styling the words
we float promises and pledges gluttonously
then we let all being fly
by wind and time
them, the marginalizes
we let them drift away in hopes

happy watching
happy prying
happy reading
happy interpretating
our queerness
