Stereotypes Stem from Reality

Hello Kitty--
goodbye personal space.
I have a bubble
that isn't respected.

cover up, parasol.
one
day
each
for big cities.

flowing genie pants,
double peace signs,
take more posed photos
than a supermodel
during fashion week in Paris.

pretend to hold up the
leaning Tower of Pisa--

between the thumb and
forefinger, the Eiffel Tower,

balance the Arc de Triumphe,
in the palm of a hand.

stereotypes--
nope,
fucking fact,
I've experienced
it
first hand.
