American Orphan
Alone in the dark
the American orphan
escapes with eyes wide
into never ending amusement.
Traveling without moving
the orphan sails into hyperspace
and past make-believe stars
in search of a twisted Disney World.
With no place to call home
the American orphan
reaches beyond
present day reality
bypassing suffering at home
and half a world away.
