who's the better man?
I can flip hamburgers and dish up Chop Suey
AS FAST as you put words on the page
Who's the Better Man?
AS FAST as you put words on the page
Who's the Better Man?
An insult to your ancestral grave
For you Chinese
Does eating Chinese food make you Chinese?
Is that all there is to it?
Come and see a tenement in the ID.
Does eating Chinese food make you Chinese?
Is that all there is to it?
Come and see a tenement in the ID.
Come to the ID and see why it is empty
Ever wonder why the ID is so Empty?
COME HERE AND SEE
FOR YOURSELF!
COME HERE AND SEE
FOR YOURSELF!
Continue to fight for what's not been won
The Battle of Seattle is NOT OVER
CONTINUE TO FIGHT
FOR WHAT HAS NOT BEEN WON
CONTINUE TO FIGHT
FOR WHAT HAS NOT BEEN WON

Believe in yourself
don't listen to any gurus
They will only tell you
that
"The whole idea is made up of two half ideas."

Destinations
I am not convinced of "Manifest Destiny"
Your Destination is not foretold by a destiny.

ID
Is your identity something you wear
like a policeman's badge?
The criminal wears none
And not wearing one does not make you a criminal
But even if you don't live in the ID in Seattle
others think you live there!

Know where you come from
then you will know where you are going
and if you don't change your path
there is a good chance you will end up there!

Talking to myself, really...
I am talking to myself, myself, really,

Deafening

Still born?
Stillborn? Still being born? Come on, Seattle Asians! Be alive! Make a joyful noise before we rejoin the Fickle Fate.
There aren't even any Asian Clowns!

A lot of BS?
Asian-American literature is often a lot of BS written with a lot of ink fish ink. Know who you are before you pick up your chopsticks or your pen. You may be screeching and screaming, but you are still inside your academic pig-pen.
Off to a good start.
We are off to a good start! Please jump right in with anything you care to say done not in a purposefully hurtful way. Peace be with you and all!
You can make comments under "comments."
Glad we are talking. I am not a "rock" nor am I an "island."
