An Ugly Privilege
April 7, 2007

Who says white is beautiful?

Sometimes I just want to
Rip this skin off my face and
Let it burn, let it burn, let it
          Fucking burn
Into a color charred and mottled and…
Not this.
If white is privilege, then
I do not wish to be white any more.
take it for what it is.
whatever it is that you decide it is.

a discussion on the piece would be marvalous.
