My protagonist today,
a Gay Black Religious Mature Male,
not quite ready for silver-grey Obama temples

Is off this morning

regular custodial collared routine,
for over...

Along the wallaby track
Signs of danger
Moments...

On the other side
Waiting anxiously for me
There at Dreamland’s Gate

Hoping sleep comes quickly

How could, a simple man as I, your divine command- to know myself-

Fruitless, so far, any efforts of mine have turned out to be,
Even though- ashamed...
