Maybe we can't... at least not today.

songs with my shower

sad handsome family ballads

feel clean and dirty

What if the background, what if all the ground is white? Chalky, textured, institutional, varnished, dirty white? Like a dream, cold... What if that's where my Indian woman abandons my Indian man? What if that's where my Indian woman, gives up on my Indian man? What if that's where my Indian woman asserts her power, chooses herself, walks away? In a dream...

Crowds of Indian women, a consistent witness to this scene ...Indian women left in the discard pile and Indian women never drawn... should stand black/purple/blue in a shape like voices, like song. (What song?)
