is there such a thing as alienation

or is it still
just an extension
of that loss
of surplus value some would say
i'm not sure about any of this
camus walks out of the desert
with his books
just before the bombs go off
first and foremost
he's still a teacher
there are lessons too brutal
to learn
but once

every mother will pack a lunch
with leftovers
our sustenance depends on it
the mothers of the world
the one and only lifelines
still visible
in a dust storm
of the epoch
throwing out all proportions
the road divides up ahead
choose
before it chooses
for you
