I made Randall at Domino's uncomfortable
when I said I was half-caste,
but it rolled off the tongue easier
than half-Chinese
and then I thought
why don't I ever say
I'm half-white Anglo Saxon
and then when I clocked off,
I went home and looked at
half-caste in the dictionary,
and Randall was right,
so one Anglo is uncomfortable,
another gets his dinner
at the chinky,
and now I think,
whose word is that now anyway,
is it even fair to
think it was forced on me?
Someone else thinks the book
I found at home about Mao
was commie cool,
even though it was about how he murdered
everyone, he saw everything he wanted,
on the sleeve.
Role play the whole way
I can't couch it any other way,
and yet my Anglo is wondering
if I just went too far.
With whom should I stand,
when in a generation I'm gone.
