maybe I hoped you’d be a Viking / hair lustfully blonde / with skin every color except spic / an / impossibly tall and husky boricua / in whose hands would be anything but a machete / anything but this island’s smallness

I want the Indica color built up / plantations from swamp lands—/ for my hands to be blued / in vats of boiled water cuffed to yards / of anil steeped cloths.
