Blindfolded
Hello, I am
Another piece on the board
to be swept away;
Hello.
Hello, I am
a single dreaming lonely child
waiting to be ignored:
Again, hello.
Hello, I am
the man who has loved you
for the entirety of his life;
For the last time, hello.
Lady Justice,
I have sought you all my life
to ask you to grant but one request --
To say "hello" to this ugly, cruel world
you left behind so long ago.
