Evette Eleese

I am always
The Stranger in a Strange Land
People always judge a book by its cover
Never the first page

So I am never a full participant
of the religious rapport
Though I want to partake
in all the hoobla-haw

Fascination hangs in the air
like the wiff of dinner cooking
making my stomach growl
my mouth water

But I am the homeless person
just passing by and
not invited to taste dinner
