LYN LIFSHIN
I live and breathe
your country my
parents were
yes from Mexico but
I live here we
bite into each
otheršs cultures
you canšt sit
like a Victorian
lasy on the side
lines wondering if
you want to dance
with any one
not just like you.
I interviewed a
skin head, was
going to take him
to lunch at Mc
Donalds but he
preferred Mexican
food, interesting
I said - no its
just the food he
answered but I
say wešre biting
into each otheršs
culture already,
put it in our
mouth and wešve
kissed wešve
swallowed just
by my being
here youšre
becoming more
Mexican,
enchiladas,
tortillas -
wešve, already,
honey, danced
