Chameleon

Will the real chameleon
Please stand up and

Be counted?

Which one is the real one?

Is the confident artist?

The angry young man,

The passionate lover,

Perhaps the frightened one?

Shall he wear a suit?

Blend in with the duchess's

Tea party,

Confidently.

Or shall he wear

The orange

Parachute suit

With sunglasses

And make up-

In order to stand out?

He thinks he's Bryan Ferry

But he looks like someone

From a carry on film,

feels like Victor Meldew

On speed,

A kaleidoscope of contradictions,

But the Chameleon tries to be himself.
