My relatives chew kimchi and dine on the fat of the land They pass nations through their mouths
Why do you grab chopsticks like that? uncle tsks A parade of thunderclouds barrel inside my head I've returned to Korea, my homeland
I imitate the grip of my elders You're showing your shoulders! my older cousin scoffs Now the killing tools are coming
Why so much makeup? You're tolerable My voice wants to spit angry wine Instead I blot away the rouge
You lost so much weight, my aunt frets I ferment in barrels of resentment Mom slides a large slice of pork onto my already-full plate
to lure a rich guy my cousin jokes a tear drops onto my piece of pork Smile more!
I clench my chopsticks Don't get fat! my mother slides the pork
back to her plate my heart, scarred by a thousand paper cuts I push away, my chair screeching from the table
My frown is salty soup They have pinched every part of me
