Does it matter what colour your passport is

as long as you can travel safely

and experience the whirlwind  world,

not be covered in ivy as you recede

into a fool’s paradise of post imperial pride.

I grew up with maps of pink,

I didn’t see the point of ownership,

embrace the blue, the green, the rampant red, the saffron,

I couldn’t care less about borders,

If we all had the same, then nobody would

suffer from envy, nobody would be jealous…

in theory
