Other People
People Other People
can appear strange
They have different habits
and they smell
differently.
For instance:
they live in different houses
with different chairs
and different foods
They drink
from different cups.
And it all adds up
to strangeness
Around this time of year
(the festive season)
They come closer
They share our air
they eat our foods
(and we eat theirs)
We visit their strange houses
or meet them in pubs
sometimes they’re family
but different.
Their lights shine
differently
and mostly
we can’t see them
(other lights)
because
because
. . . . . . they’re different
