Ataraxic Chaos 

eyes do not speak a language

let me reverberate the gentle

soft exotica that you play in your head

are you trying to help me annunciate? 

the continental divide never divided

and now we are together but we

is not singular

there is no meaning beyond my name

and my handwriting is not composed of

artistic calligraphy that I can display

so your child can hang it and say

       look     what

the    foreigner  (American)     made for me 

yes the alphabet does sit beyond the borders of

the United mixture of... “Say that’s interesting

how your “I” is pronounced “ee””

does my giggle insinuate what I’m saying? 

breathing fire -- dragon lady

remaining unspoken --- Suzy Wong.

Just because you have a picture bride

it does not make you an expert

on me
