Life, Liberty, the pursuit of Happyness

Buzz of electricity. Snow refrozen in the night air. Laundry veins cooing. Trees standing without wind. Clear sky calling to other life. A chair of safety and the silver spoon. What would life be like as a Native or a Black, an Hispanic or Asian? How much more alone would I feel? How much more understanding would I need to be? How much would history paint me? Would prisons call out for me? Would ghettos know my name? Would people condescend?
