teacher's pet
March 29, 2017
i've
straddled two continents but my
weight is on the right, the
other where I left it; i
buried my heritage and
my taste for doenjang and
instead I won sensation.
twelve years
too quick to
sell myself to the
experiment, the
masterpiece, the
success and the assimilation.
i am eve born out of an ivory rib.
give me the apple.
