Wish You Were Colonized

Tristan Robert Lange



it’s good to know
we are so very
 
post
colonial
 
i almost thought—
heaven me—it could be
 
bullshitonial.
 
what would i know?
i’m just booking my
american itinerant plan
to travel to the British
 
virgin islands.
 
owned by those
native hands.
 
on my way home,
i think i might go
to US Puerto Rico—
 
 
not sure, I’ll let you know—
 
a piña colada cocktail
and some hawaiian retail.
 
when i get home,
i will lay down my head
and sleep well in my
 
post
colonial
 
bed.
