(wu-joe-gwai)
The barefoot girl
the kind you don't see
in MEC catalogues
or Outdoor magazine
The kind you expect
to wear Hello Kitty clips
practicing piano
being ace at math.
Th bigfoot girl
the kind you don't see
in a Chinese house
contained in clean slippers
hiding blackened feet
The kind you expect
to shuffle along quietly
yes, yes, and yes.
She is that kind
(not the right kind)
the never lawyerdoctorengineer
called mo-yoong
(eng: useless)
for her lack of fitting
Her feet too big
Built too wide
Skin too tanned.
A dirty ghost
Still here, wanted
unseen.
