A poem about nonsensical racial identity.

Skinned Can

The skin, a boundary,

Insulating me from the Other,

Colors my identity,

Soaring at stake,

Entrusted in the rain,

My only true bond,

Or am I a transparent observer?

A voter, blue?

A breath, red?

A partisan, white?

A soldier, green?

A motley Mockingbird?
