Rejection

No shaman for me.
Unlike you, rich seeker,
I can’t afford pay-for-view visions.

No dream catcher for me.
Unlike you, pow-wow tourist,
I am clumsy with my elusive dreaming.

No bow, no arrow, not even a kinfe.
Unlike you, Injun great-grandchild,
I know what a good investment a gun can be.

No long hair, no leather, no…
no.  Stop, friend, and I will too.  I’m dying
from ensuring that I am not your fantasy.
