Other by Evie Lee ’25

 I.
“other”.     
that’s what i am.
或者至少你是怎么把我分类的，
as if i’m a book in the library:
The Racially Ambiguous.
有趣的是，我的整个人生
the privileges i will receive, 
is denounced to an 
afterthought
of an option.
still, i could have it worse.
they are choked out
constantly by the grip
of racial injustice.
if my neck aches,
they can’t breathe.
也许我应该感谢你
“other”.

II.
牧师和家庭佣工
different races
were found doing the unthinkable. immoral. 
that’s what they are.
that’s what my parents are.
does that make me a 
罪?
如果他们找到了我妈妈的内裤
brought it in front of the court,
would she be dead?
if they saw my parents
through my father’s window,
would that window exist any longer?
or would it be 
bulldozed to the ground,
just like they stripped the
house of equality 
from the Earth.

or am i, 
with my radical ideas,
and my dreams of equality,
the true devourer
of their good night’s sleep?

3. 
i am the
unexplainable.
i am the 
regret that no one   
wants to acknowledge.
i am the   
torn apart body, 
ripped to shreds   
by the vultures
of hatred and aversion
to the unknown. 
i am the leftover. 
i am “other”.
