FOR ELIOT
I guess Success Not elation Or creation Alone may men not mock;
God bless T.S., Spared the temptation Of our generation — Writing rhymes for rock.
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.
