some of them
are too out of touch with reality
too in touch with themselves
to be acceptable among our community.

Some of them support
unpopular causes
some of them think
in revolutionary fashion
some of them live
an alternative lifestyle
some of them represent
an alternative
to us.

Don’t talk to strangers
talk to family
talk to your friends from school
the nice ones who get good grades
but don’t talk to strangers
because they’re stranger
than we want you to be.
