Poems
Mar 2019
Don't put me in a box
They ask,
What’s your ethnicity? What’s your race?
On standardized tests, on job applications.
They deleted the ‘other’ option.
Now,
On Wednesdays, I choose ‘White.’
On Thursdays, I choose ‘Hispanic.’
On Fridays, I choose ‘Asian.’
On Saturdays, I choose ‘American Indian.’
Don’t try to put my identity in a box.
It doesn’t fit.
