Wakon

Four walls, bland with a large picture of a body anatomy

I wait lonely in the room

The sun shines through, touches a paper

I draw a dog on the paper


Then a wave of coffee arrives in the room

A mouth full of black teeth open,

Teach me how to pronounce a word

“Wagon”


Me a passenger on the wagon and she pulls the handle

She guides me through the traffic

Pronouncing, “you have to catch up with them”

I wonder about old people who can’t retire


Many mouths I can’t grab full messages or nothing

See the train station’s clock ticks

Mispronouncing the word, impatience creates the time

Feel stressed how can I play the game with others?


Hands drop with a disappointing sigh

She pronounces the word, “Wakon”

My Adam’s apple elevates, pronounces, ‘wakon’

She replies, “good good good”


Her spell gets backfired

I take off the wagon

I dance with my hands, my body, and my face

You don’t be the British with me


My hand language is my home

I don’t belong to the wagon

The world you show me is a fascist

They not only hurt me, they hurt you too eventually


I walk away freely

From the mind-controlling cult

I no longer am blindfolded

I am full WAKON.
