Do You Celebrate Christmas? Hindu child do you put the gifts under the six foot turban while you ride camels praying to the belly dancers? Laughs through the room but my skin tone hides my blush. Pretending to care because they do. I study Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer. Listen to lectures from Santa. Memorize the placement of the ornaments on the tree. Because if I fail the test They will know that my immigrant parents reenacted Hollywood movies with plastic trees and empty present boxes without knowing why. Sanjay Pani This poem is appearing in the Poetry Journal Premiere Generation Ink. Volume 1 Number 1 |
