PLOT
To the Masterminds of Paranoid Nationalism
I say, we say:
"We," the Other people
We, the migrants, exiles, nomads & wetbacks
In permanent process of voluntary deportation
We, the transient orphans of dying nation-states
la otra America; l'autre Europe y anexas
We, the citizens of the outer limits and crevasses
of "Western civilization"
We, who have no government;
no flag or national anthem
We, fingerprinted, imprisoned, under surveillance
We, evicted from your gardens & beaches
We, interracial lovers,
children of interracial lovers, ad infinitum
We, who defy your fraudulent polls & statistics
We, in constant flux,
from Patagonia to Alaska,
from Juarez to Ramalia,
We millions abound,
We continue to talk back...continue, continue
