And then to actually make a VIRTUE.
OF IT!
Ethnic Minorities.
Mosaic Patterns of the Nation.
Secular Fabric.
AS IF WE COULD NOT EXIST.
PLAIN AND SIMPLE.
AS SIMPLY:
HUMANS.
Have you written your pastiche?
Immigrant expurgated anguish.
What it means to be a blot on the dot of a foreign shore?
As if in this day and age there weren't any options.
TO MOVE OUT.
OR MOVE BACK.
OR BACK AND FORTH.
IF ONE WANTED.
BUT SOMEWHERE IN THAT MARKED AND HISTORIED MIND
THERE IS THE DUST AND GRIME AND DIRT
OF ALL THAT INDENTURED IDENTITY.
AS IF ONE MUST BE WHAT ONE IS MARKED TO BE.
AND THERE IS NO FREEDOM
NO ESCAPE FROM THIS PRISON.
OF YOU AND ME.
OF YOU THIS
AND ME THAT
WHEN WE ARE BUT
WHAT WE ARE.
UNENDING EDTIONS OF UNLIMITED OPENNESS
WITHOUT BEING IMPRISONED OR IMPASSIONED BY
IDENTITIES.
