Social Studies - David Byrne
I thought that if I ate the food
Of the area I was visiting
That I might assimilate the point
Of view of the people there
As if the point of view was somehow in the food
So I would make no choices myself
Regarding what food I ate
I would simply follow the examples
Of those around me
I would study menus very carefully
Making note of important differences and similarities
When shopping at the supermarket
I felt a great desire to walk off
With someone else's groceries
So I could study them at length
And study their effects on me
As though if I ate their groceries
I would become that person until
I finished their groceries
And we might find ourselves going to the same places
Running into one another at the
Movies or in a shopping mall
Reading the same books watching
The same TV programs
Wearing the same clothes traveling
To the same places
And taking the same pictures getting
Sick at the same time
And getting well again simultaneously
Finding ourselves attracted to the same people
Working at the same job and
Making the same amount of money
Living identical lives as long as the groceries lasted
