Finding Small Infinities

Poetry

So this is a collection of poetry that I've written. Some of it's very fantastical. Some of it is mythological. Some of it is domestic. There's not really one specific theme or style. They're not all about me and not all from my point of view. Most...

Biological Essentialism

I'm an immigrant

Not by choice

By ending up here

Somehow

I grew up here

Spent my life here

Went to school here

Worked here

Played here

Laughed here

Cried here

Screamed here

Loved here

Lost here

If you think I don't belong here I can't argue

I won't argue with that

I hate everyone here including me and our exploitativeness and our greed and our apathy

And I'm definitely on the list of people I hate

This is a fact

I'm not a hero

I will never be

And if you say I don't belong here I'll take that as a compliment though it's false

But anyways

I have nowhere else where I belong either

I really just don't

I literally don't

I don't mind

I don't care

There's nothing as freeing

As defining your belonging based on your actions and not your origin

And belonging based on shared experience not based on origin
