Flashes from plastic world

Volunteers stir up fallen leaves
from the ground
they revolve in the air
then gather up in piles
to keep the lawn clean

funny that here
not even Nature
has the right to be
disorganised.

The neat houses are immense.
They´re so big inside -
It makes no sense at all.
It makes their emptiness
so much bigger.

Reception at the Brazilian embassy:
about 50 heads sitting neatly
in organised rows
nodding at the host's speech
with plastic smiles.

the host's son then plays samba
on his guitar
(a breath of fresh air - finally)

yet nobody moves
no nods
no head swings
no foot tapping
I can't help dancing still
hoping to go unnoticed

I wonder what kind
of family-sized-coupon-discount
cleasing product
they've been using as
blood substitute
- must be really good value for money.
