competitions to be heard
listened to
appreciated
respected 
for our therapeutic,
and not...

A man's first right is to his own country:
That place by choice that was his father's hope
Before. His breathing make its history,

before continuing your day
to bless your lucky stars
that you were born within these

I’d extend an invitation

and store them in your bones.

Those bones
