Exclusion

The above is a cartoon, some minor humour
about exclusion being off the scale. Exclusion
happens to many people, whether the excluded
did not recognise their expulsion until the process
 is complete, or whether after some contemplation,
where hindsight can make you more whole, 
and more reconciled to being an outsider.

Wherever you are on the scale of exclusion,
look after it. It may be all you have to hang on to.   

 

Eyesight For The Blind

In these day when jealousy is as blind
to what it covets as it is of itself
I will make it my aspiration in life
to not be human-jealousy is far more
human-shaped than humans ever admit.

Being an alien seems more far-sighted,
and more humane to me.

If the clarity of being an alien is rare,
than it is better than having no vision at all.
