Hailing

A little of this, a little of that.

I’m only a little less than two-thirds white,

One sixth black, one twelfth Native American,

And just a little more than one twelfth Mexican.

But this morning (and mornings are when I do my best work)

It was funny, it was like wait;

I’m identifying as Asian! 

How many sources of oppression have you been disadvantaged by? 

From a ten point plan

To three simple steps

Majuscule to majuscule to majuscule.

And not asking if

You want to see my penis, my dick, my schlong

Is the new normal?

I don’t know, I haven’t tried. 

I can’t stand the suspense is I guess the problem.

You just be careful I said.

Give it its due, the past.

Say Hi to the camera

If you can.

Yeah. Yeah.

Like that.

Wait, well no. 

Is that right?
