At the border I declared my love

Duty free
Now I am deported
'refugees not wanted'
here

Lost my place amongst roving tribes

at the border
I won’t know which side I am on
coming or going
All I will know is that I am old and tired
free and bounded
content that am lost

We surrendered at the border

knowing dawn
would try us for treason
after evening captured
our desires
with fulfillment in our eyes

Canadian goose at the border

#GooseAtTheBorder
No one stops her
heading south for a winter of love
Humans need a visa passport driver’s license
proof that they are not Canadian geese
fleeing to the south

To sleep to sleep

Lined up dreams
stuck at the border
To dream asleep
To dream awake
Awake I control
Asleep I am controlled
At times I know not which am in
No doubt death so is too

Then Jesus began to handout chocolate Easter eggs

to the coloured children
But was stopped at the border
for looking too Mexican
and not having any redemption left
for the privileged white children
So once again Easter was cancelled

About Dr. Terrell Neuage

Neo-noir Neuage is a revival of noir Neuage textuality, a genre that flourished during the neo noir post-hippie era —roughly from 1970 to 2015 following the Neuage-Textuality hippie era of the 1960s. Post Neo-noir Neuage is the present time mate. [there was also the short-lived Fucked Poetry of Neuage - but we have gone pass that era...thankfully.] SEE Content/Indexof all for this cycle. To add to the possible confusion, Terrell Neuage was Terrell Adsit pre-1980 when it was changed to Neuage in Hawaii in 1980. Why the name Neuage?
