By GENIE NAKANO
born in ELA barrios
I live in a world of dualities
in my tight skirt and sweater
I can cha cha ‘n hully gully down
but i don’t know who i am
I peroxide my hair red
rat it high, rat it high
pierce my ears with the catholic cross
orale pues—sansei
Buddhahead becomes a chola.
homeroom teacher
sends me to the back of the room
my hair is too high to see over
she calls me a disgrace
oye, better to nap in the back
black eyeliner, jade green shadow
I look older now don’t I
times going too slow
I want to get out of here
I am Maria of Westside Story
in my purple skirt
I twirl with amateur grace
round and round
and then again…
suddenly a balance
that’s it for me
dance sets me free
forget those guys,
those blackened eyes
Catch me in the Rye
while legs grow strong
my spine becomes a willow
time moves in rhythm
and everything makes sense
the world becomes a dance
keep on is all I say
you call me a show off now
I don’t care—cause I feel good
and don’t you wish you had my legs
orale pues, right on right on
