fish out of water

sitting at the table of life
the truth of my blood; my heritage
inescapable!
the rift between color [race]; a Rubicon!

stuck and still[ hoping to be wrong]
the net has been cast
the yield is now ‘our’ history
on this page were the ink is not dry

fanatically we cling to tera firma
in this every changing landscape
like my father
forward facing? but forever looking back
