Say:

Your engorging dict-

atorial flesh

grazed mine.

Would you have loved me more if I were black?

Would I have loved you more if you were white?

And you, relentless Sinophile,

holding my long hair, my frayed dreams.

My turn to objectify you.

I, the lunatic, the lover, the poet,

the face of an orphan static with flies,

the scourge of the old world,

which reminds us—it ain’t all randy dandy

in the new kingdom.

Say rebuke descry

Hills and canyons, robbed by sun, leave us nothing.
