Analysis of Me with Two Roots
My aunt with the rhythm
moves to exotic music
brown hand beats drum
I begin to dance
My cousin with the wide hips
wears her hair natural
she steals all the stares
I let my feathers go
My husky uncle with the food
eating chocolate-covered almonds
near the Tequila and black-eyed peas
I sip some poison
We with our eyes
stare off far away
we vision our thoughts
I see African trees in Mexico
