in the heat of the winter ,
on the cool cool grass ,
the center of Indiana ;
the center of the country ;
the center of the world.
I spat blood on the white white sidewalk,
for I was dopdi , and I felt wronged.

Dopdi or Draupadi was a character in a postcolonial text. It's a relatively short text and definitely worth a read.
