I am from a Chinese wok,
of oolong tea and red envelopes,
I am from an orange house with matching shag carpet,
of bitter melon...
Listen and obey!
Go question authority!
Cultural crossroads.
Collectivism,
The group must always come first,
Never disobey.
Adopted by whites,
biologically Asian,
culturally confused.
Distant Asian dad,
Working, gambling, avoids me,
Do you not love me?
