it is possible that some pets
do not love their owners
but are like slave prostitutes
who learned to pretend to love
so they would survive

a personal discovery of human diversity

but actually it is about
going to another country
and giving locals a ton of money
to act as our slaves
while we pretend to be royalty
for a week or two.

i was thinking if i should write it
for a whole week.

i love tourism.
but it is ruined!
but i love it!

everyone knows that
buildings will always be ugly
so we make up stories
to pretend they are
as pretty as the nature.
which they are not.
they are always ugly.

he gave his life
so we can pretend
that our fantasies
are better than
the reality
which is
a fancy way
to say
he is as useful
as crossfit
