You capture the Hispanic community really well, playing on their customs without sounding condescending or even God-forbid racist.

at the moment I’m emitting pastel green,
thinking of tripe and the birdy song.

and pronounce their mule… hey soose

basted like a Sunday roast,
the twenty two cc syringe
laid out for discerning followers.
After tasting; wallowing in the gravy of grief
international force feeding
via the media kitchen of bad taste
so many dead
and me
me
I’m pastel green
