I am wearing the colour of vulnerability

is it still the colour of surrender?

I stand in the bathroom mirror

& look at My Self — Dual Citizen

a representative of North America

in LL Bean Blue Jeans

& white sweat shirt

Grey Star at My Neck

Diamond Rings blaze on both My Hands

What do I stand for?

Canadian/US Citizen

on guard

for

Thee
