Black in Japan
Being black in Japan
means you have more white spaces
on the day-night trains.
The darkness of U.S.
allows yellow jaundice to
shine its rising sun.
Empty seats allow
black thoughts to make room for small
breezes of knowledge.
That Ainu minstrels
shouldn’t be doing Doo-***
on Nippon TV.
That the jet blackness
of Naomi Osaka
not be a shade light.
That the Shogun kept
no black slaves be an excuse
for all other ones.
That racist white face
teaching black black face hatred
is not a shoeshine.
That racism is a
presumption and is not a
a very good gene.
