Diaspora

Turn the odd page:
Attest to age,
Word abrupt rage,
Climb on your stage.


Not much to say:
A brittle take,
A touchy play,
A foreign make.


Too wise to know:
Blunt angles show,
Not much to grow,
A discrete glow.


So here you are:
A foreign sore,
A foreign star,
A touchy bore.


See what I prize:
A feisty price,
A taunting vice,
Where's mad surprise?


Odd agenda:
A twist of fate
Strange diaspora,
A blush too late.
