[diana is not enough of a jap]

diana is not enough of a jap
for me. she lived in texas for ten years,
then moved to boston for school, as hap
would have it, to live with hipsters and queers.
she roams the streets wearing a tiara
and bewitches all the thin indie boys
with their little pins of che guevara.
she blithely muffles all the background noise.
when she walks to the japanese market,
feeling more in touch with her ethnic roots
(she'd drive her car, were there space to park it),
where she buys fresh vegetables and fruits.
on her way home, she clicks at the squirrels
and compares herself to other girls.

ahem. this was written by the stunningly gorgeous and extremely witty stephen m. obviously, i'm better than you.
