___________ ME

Location

COLOR ME
With the dichotomies of
Chink and Asian
Perhaps then my tulip-shaped eyes may twitch open

WATCH ME
Reach for a boundless future
EFfervescent and unhinged
Under the veil of short-lived zits and bags

JUDGE ME
Not by numbers or requirements
Sent through letters of praise
Is my ambition not enough to satisfy your prerequisites?  

ENUNCIATE ME
Mark-Anthony Glory may ease your curtailed tongue
But CAT-ANG-GUI will POP! your impromptu interests
Ding! The light bulb clicks under your fluorescence


TEACH ME
Through your approaches
Each word like an encyclopedia of lights
Piercing my veil to my consciousness

UNDERSTAND ME
My neverland dreams await moment's kiss
Twitching, etching, depicting --
Merely believing and seeing is futile

FOR ME
FOR YOU
FOR US
