Applied for a job
the Chief of Diversity
They would call me the COD
a bit odd
The employment form
asked for Sex so I checked
Then raised my hand
queried What about Gender?
Needless to say
odd girl’s out

As a latina
I take exception
to the phrase
White Christmas
How about an Ecru Christmas
or a Beautifully Bronzed
Caramel Lustered
Birthday of the Supreme
Being of your choice?
Frankly, I plan to have
a joyous Christmas
celebrating with my friends (and family)
who are Hindi, Buddhist, Muslim,
Zen, Greek Orthodox, Roman Catholic,
Episcopalian, Presbytes, Jews, Quaker,
Amish, Atheist (Paco, did I miss anybody?)
Wiccan! and that crazy lady down the block
from Puerto Rico with the chicken heads and candles
It will be White – it will be Joyous –
it will be about Christ – and that’s the way it goes.
The year will pass and soon it will be your turn
to celebrate your Being of choice using any colors you like.
Love to all.

on the way out I sipped
the house Kool-Aid, been hummin’
Carousel’s soliloquy since
