IMMIGRANT (1), a poem. I do not write a ton about my immigrant experience, because it is deeply personal for each one of us and because it is difficult/beautiful/ugly/scary/lonely.
I don’t always like to remember and yet it is always on my mind. I thought I would share this today because of what is happening with the Dream Act. When I read about the act being rescinded, I felt ill.
So I wrote some poems and I will share them over the coming days. I don’t know what good it will do. Maybe it will just help people understand.
“You say it as though it’s the most awful thing you can imagine. It isn’t as though I’ve done it on purpose. Somehow I’ve even grown fond of your— your irritating questions, and your short legs, and your accidental attempts to kill me.
