She's a Certain Slant-Hating White
CthulhuIsKing 2000 (Syracuse)
She’s a certain Slant-Hating white—
Bougainvillea buffoon—
Who, uncreative, swallows Dregs of tea and
Edith’s stale macaroons—
Racial Rage she appropriates—
Condescending wench—
Smears My Skin with charcoal dust and
Allows no Defence—
She may teach it—racist—
Thesaurus she balks—
A chalkboard crucifiction turned
Social justice lark—
Biracist and vapid—she’s an
Immoral Whartonite.
Miss/Dr./Governess/Dir. Jules Delphine,
You are fucking white.
