Untitled

In these ways unlike any other

You have made me a bigot

 

How can I trust someone

With your nose; broad as any stereotype

Your eyes; The color of over-circulated dollar bills

Your lips; billowing, plush, plumped like a fresh Challah

Over-flowing like your Manischewitz Wine.

Lying mouth

A liars mouth

 

You look like a lender

You look like a heathen

 

You are an Aryan Mother Mary

 

Your hair is blonde. No, it’s yellow. No, it is ***** blonde

***** blonde

 

Stop controlling my multimedia experience

Mismanage the tasteless fruits of my love no longer

 

But who am I to hold your cultural tropes against you?

The way you hold my state of mind

Up to my eyes, only to make me see what it is you view

 

You are the jew. And I’m the one burning alive.
