sunny day
an hour in the garden
tea and chatting

The smallest glimmer of a sunshine's ray
can light the depths of deepest dark of night
and in the current climate of decay
a single word of kindness makes it bright.
I send a message to the lady owning
a Facebook female grappler's band
in confession of my status and atoning
though my profile states that I was born a man.
Imagine my surprise when comes a letter
in opposition of the country's hate
where she tells me that I can remain a member
since I've spent o'er thirty years in such a state'
For almost twenty years I've been accepted
though the teacher I first had, had me ejected.
