PIG IN BLUE
I knew a pig in blue
Who liked to tell us what to do

And he did bad things few people knew

I knew a pig in blue
A corrupt old guard...

So at 47 I have arrived.
A position most disconcerting,
Troubling? Nay,
Downright disturbing!
A blatant assault.!
An ego in default.

Of my original birth sack,
I am anything but...

Walking up uneven sidewalks—
up cracked little hills of pavement,
past dingy apartments
gliding through trailer parks—
rough rails and low fences
skidding my fingertips—
reaching the dampened street.

Through an empty crosswalk
where children once would
wait to pass—
vigilant cross guards leading
laughing kids...
