White Lawns

“You’re Pastor Jennings?”

Uyghur

Rohingya

Armenians

Boznians

And Pastor Jennings

We seem to hate them all

But here we have our white lawns

That we pour white on

Through our sprinklers,

And we call police

When something not quite right white

Has come along

What Happened to Wonder Bread

What Happened to Wonder Bread

 

To my shame, I used to ask for it

As if the store-brand bread were not enough

Admittedly, this other kind was softer

I enjoyed biting it

Sometimes making little doughballs out

Of a slice

 

I think that it became a racial epithet

In color, it was truly white

Too bad, though I think the product still is made

And epithets, they change

The spite remains the same

Regarding colors of all kind

Too bad

We really are more interesting than

Spat-out words

I don’t blame anyone

I blame everyone

Except maybe the hungry child

Who was entering the world
