i do not know “what i am,”
except a worker
trying
to pay for groceries
like you
i do not know
what “race” to mark
on legal forms
or what “middle class”
means today
or where my next paycheck
is coming from…
all i know
is that the world
my parents gave me
doesn’t work
and i’m pretty sure the only chance
that me and my fellow free-falling
millenials have
to keep on eating
is to make
the world
again
