Chasing My Boys Rabbit DR SALERIAN POEM

Chasing My Boys Rabbit

Animal rights
And national security
A combustible cocktail
Cultural shock I suppose
My landing in jail
For kicking our family dog
Chasing my boys rabbit
Why jail ?I ask
“Your immigrant looks
Born near Russia”
“Yes I am Turkish
Armenian blood”
Me admitting my roots
‘Now you lying
Your name not Turkish
Not Erdogan’’
“Let me explain “I plead
“Tell that to the judge
And remember
She has four dogs
Dreads rabbits
Hates reds
And Redskins”
“What should I do?”
Me now thinking out loud
“Say sorry for the dog
Nothing about the rabbit

Or your roots”
