No visa


The strong young man
who trained Olympic athletes
now watches daytime TV
in a Sydney suburb.

Refusing to fight for a dictator,
he vaulted a virtual queue somewhere,
was deemed unworthy
of our way of life
and now lives in a no-mans-land
of shadows and uncertainty.

Some days you may see him
feeding ducks in the park
like an old man.
