I Hate
I hate the ‘Body
Politic’
Whose wave blasphemes
and grows
I battle to swim against
its tide
Or be abandoned in its
flow
I hate the way it stunts
my voice
‘Old Dominions’ chosen
side
I hate the fact—it’s hate
I feel
With the truth a captive
lie
(Villanova Pennsylvania: October, 2016)
Inspired By My Friend & Poet Neal Hall
