CASCADE

She's Indian
Native
Eastern
Indigenous
Yet
She's been
White washing
White fading
Her  fine featured face
wearing I can't make up
my mind to cover
up her beauty
from the inside out
she eats fancy greek yogurts
but has yet to reclaim her
Yoga outside her crammed
Studio apartment
she staggers to work out
her constant contradictions
of other Women auctioning her hair
to be brought and  sold by  the bag
in a Korean Store Sown in a scalp by
Africans for African Americans
Who all are Culturally  exempt from
Knowing each other unless they are being served in a fast food court of common pleas
