In the Tropics
by Joe CramerAll my life I've been sidelined,
Waiting for something to happen.
My eyes, never really opened wide,
Instead, inspired by hopelessness.
This burden great, always rests
So squarely on my narrow shoulders,
Absolute in the imagined oppression. 09/12/1977 Author's Note: ... I had been reading Henry Miller's "Tropic of Cancer".....
