That Day In 1933 Poem by KyeongChan Ro

That Day In 1933



Yellin’ for food like wolves
Walkin’ for wood like mules
We ain’t got no house
We ain’t got no home

I ain’t got no brain
I ain’t goin’ for rain
Aimin’ at the street
It’s been with us three

Papa’s the trunk
I’m a sleepin’ little fox
Mama’s the leaves
I’m a sleepin’ little fox

I ain’t no feelin’ like livin’
I lay wishin’ I’m dyin’
I wanna be eaten by the fresh stream
And I wanna be shoved by this dream
