HIGHLAND SPRING
Bulls lean head to head In motionless battle; Notionless cattle Stroll the strand And graze; Sheep Sleep Or idly stand Idly gaze Down on the rocks By the sea snore.
British by birth, Jamaican by registration, Canadian by naturalisation, Australian by descent.
Formerly Danish, too, but I lost citizenship in becoming Canadian.
But no permanent status in the country I was raised in (the Bahamas), or in the country I've been living in since 1991 (the US).
My flag is the blue-and-white of the UN, all other flags are historically interesting at best, despicable at worst.
