The Poetry of Daniel Harrison

    

 

Safe In The ROC

In a breakaway chunk of China
I appear a delirious,
Invisible white

Drifting through Taipei,
I am now the fresh illiterate
Waving western hands in puzzled faces

American fusion squeezes between
High fashion and torn drapes
It comforts me today

Protecting me in the brick alleyway
From the searing light
Of sign upon sign upon sign
