Same Old Lunar New Year Poem by Chen-ou Liu
Same Old Lunar New Year
a 4-haiku sequence about a non-white/Chinese immigrant 'celebrating' the lunar new year in the Promised Land
New Year's reverie...
I unzip my yellow skin
for a fair one
9-to-5 shift done
when alone in the cubicle
I'm just me
snow-covered street
looking back which footprints
are mine?
dinner alone
this taste of leftovers
left over again
