Tensely I watch

As a circus appears on tv

Another A Current Affair

Another image of ASIANS EVERYWHERE

Another reminder that we are

The disease that you wish to be rid of

We bought all your houses and baby powder

And we don’t even know why you’re so upset about it

Are these facts I’m learning about myself?

I go to papa Wong’s for dinner

We eat

Tomato and egg soup

Chicken and black bean

Braised pork with eggplant

Seared prawns and snow peas

He turns to me and says

“There are too many Chinese”.
