Saggitarian

That's what i am, an equine with a human upper body, a bow and arrow; what about the crippled giraffe, the long legged and long neck nibbler of the trees of african savannahs?

here in the land of maples, moose, bears and beavers,
they're told that i am form Africa, but not african in looks;
in africa [south] i tried to convince them that my paler complexion
and round crosssection hair that's always straight
should not exclude me from being african;
but as i was always asked if i was from across the indian ocean
of asian origins, physically, i was and still not able
to reject my genetic and cultural origins

some will know the implications of the piesang, banana, heung jiew
it is apt and descriptive, an aspect of the sojourner / diasporic reality
whilst originally offended by being labelled banana or xyBC
where xy = British , South African, American, Canadian,
and BC = Born Chinese
resulting in a "mengsel" , a pot pourri of hopefully eclectic mash of . . .
