ghetto kids.
as my mind was altered with the herb. and we walked from the park to the donut place. i was brought back memories of my ghetto childhood. my excitement of going to ‘la whittier’ to get a hot dog or bolis. to going to ‘el swapmeet de la alameda’ for FRESAS CON CREMA and churros and nieve. and cueritos con sal y limon. y los ESQUITES. ahhhhh. later as we walked back talking...

“As a mestiza I have no country, my homeland cast me out; yet all countries are mine because I am every woman’s sister or potential lover. (As a lesbian I have no race, my own people disclaim me; but I am all races because there is the queer of me in all races.) I am cultureless because, as a feminist, I challenge the collective cultural/religious male-derived beliefs of...
