.              how disapproving. to hear chords as yours, I thought how clean as a viola;                well, then as smooth as looking through a person. I thought this blackness was opaque.                so why sunlight through my ears when I hear your ******** like water through a straw:                notice: in my country, drought-heavy cow-full, dust-bowled, bare-footed, large-                accented-- skinny-boyed, big-thighed sauntering girls-- what words: girls, boys-- notice:                in my country water is desperate and mottoed. we sing for it as god. when it                rains mothers cry. your ******** is a waste of water and a waste of my skin. transparent. (o lightskins!: post-colonial nymph-paragoned sibylline demigoded golden Greek-statued heroes--                how full of **** y'all are! and I Hephaestus...)
