How does a creative queer navigate war?
Does a life lived in gray help one moderate more?
It’s a gift to be seen & invisible too…
Dotting lines of divide that two enemies drew.
To resist or collaborate is a coin flipped?
Both have hidden sheathed blades that are oft double dipped.
The big picture goal of conflict is survival…
For nobodies neither incumbent nor rival.
History tells lies that evaporate with time.
It’s distance & perspective that strips it of grime.
