I am a stranger here kissing Camus goodbye
everything is an existential threat even a hug
unless you’re hugging a hog then it’s a belly laugh.
A feel-good purge pure without being Puritan
we are naturalists of course we strip off our clothing
not in protest but in pride.
I become as nobody here naked before you
you can see I bear no arms
only let my visible scars speak for me.
