Caged Tomorrows

My kind resides

outside the lines

drawn by
the authorities
of society

We are

by all conventional
respectable
definitions

considered
marginal types at best

To be tolerated

but always kept 
at arms length

as freak show players

tagged and caged
as to not infect
the insulated populace
from our peculiar brand
of  behavior labeled aberrant  

Their restrictions
we accept

as we acquiesce 
to the whims
of the alpha mutts

but we know

the wheels
of change do turn

so we bide our time

til that day
of critical mass

when we freaks

outnumber 

and overwhelm

the freaked out 

populace
