Mythology of Turbulence

I won’t let my blood’s hydrology,
Mark my mind for confusion or pathology,
Showcase my body for post-racial utopia;
My parents crossed the Pacific
Watersheds converging,
My body, salt and freshwater mixing,
An estuary constantly transforming
Remembering the geography of my family
Stories, but no mythology,
No model multi-racial minority.

Showcase my body for post-racial utopia;

My body, salt and freshwater mixing,
An estuary constantly transforming
Remembering the geography of my family
Stories, but no mythology,
No model multi-racial minority.
