2025/Emme-

Two-toned;

belonging in two cultures,

and not feeling welcome in either

Checkboxes in society—

yield just one part;

Black or White?

Hispanic or Asian?

not occurring to them that someone mixed might come along

Double or nothing;

Languages, traditions, names

personalities (that could possibly change)

American is loud, outspoken,

wild and free,

not caring much about

what the Others think Korean is quiet, gracious,

modestly silent,

seeking to agree

to appease the Rest

If only it were possible to be both

yet still the same

as Everyone.
