From Both Sides - A Future Verse

Escape pod is a production of escape artists incorporated, and is brought to you with a creative, common attribution, non commercial, no derivative license. This future verse is based on my west indian heritage, in particular, my country of trinaa intobago. Readers will spot references to place names, political systems, food, et cetera. Our closing quotation this week is from brandon o'brien's poem, how come you find yourself in all this and under the sun?
