"We real cool. We
Left school. We
Lurk late. We
Strike straight. We
Sing sin. We
Thin gin. We
Jazz June. We
Die soon."

Thank you so much to The Margins and the Asian American Writers’ Workshop for offering a refuge for “I, Discomfort Woman: A Fugue in F Minor.”

This is a poem I should not have had to write.

This is a poem no one else could have written.

This is a poem that needs to exist.
