LABELED (#3 a Triangle poem)


Triangles! Yellow, pink or blue
So pretty until they label you
As a recusant, a gay or Jew.

And though you try to run and hide
You won't find many on your side
They'll turn their backs, and say "I tried".

But what if those who turned away
Have triangles of their own someday.
I wonder then, what they'll have to say.
