I am tribal

not global

foot to earth

is my mobile

eye to eye

is my bible

as DPI’s liable

to be less than noble

a writhing immotile

a mall

for a shopper

who’d rather boutique…

I’ll take face to face any day of the week

(and then only when I desire to speak)

I’ll grip hand to hand

I’ll choose side to side

since language is more

than a character tide.

I am tribal

not global.
