Long Gallantly Poems

Though still within our infancy, 
we strive to thrive, but woefully 
we flash and flaunt our 'primacy',

"The In-Between"

I ripped the pages of 
that tired old story 
from the heart, a body of work

I know the game of exclusion,
have played it all my life and
now I've mastered it,
a talent to brag about.

Exclusion from normality,
the joy of inclusion.

Long time ago, they left the  boundaries 
Like an eagle from afar, they sight our mysteries

Are the ill-results of yesterday’s ill-attention
