I love my India!! Yeh Mera India!
In 2nd grade I performed one of my favorite Bollywood songs at a talent show in what I now understand is…drag…
After the entire auditorium laughed at my ass:
My mom told me that she loved me– the way that
Indians tend to: no words,
Just the chai ready on the stove
Hissing and frothing like the brownest parts of us
We sipped together without speaking
The warmth in our chests loosely translates into ‘family’ in English

A couple of weeks ago I wore a dress and for the first time it didn’t feel like drag,
I’ve never felt so comfortable in my own body than in rainbow lace, and bows, betch
I was serving some little house on the prairie realness
Some gurl come over to my house let’s play Oregon trail, our damn wagon is broken down but…AT LEAST WE ARE STILL FABULOUS! realness.
I called my mom to tell her the news
Except this time there was no warmth in her silence

She tells me that I need to be
More quiet, less visible
More family, less individual.

Mom
I think you are right.
There are parts of me that are becoming white in this country and I think that I like it.

Me, the boy who will go to poetry shows and say fuck white supremacy,
and do it by crawling home after into bed with a white man
The same man whose smile gives me more affirmation than your phone calls
The same man whose cum on my face works something like a skin whitening cream
Whose dick in my ass works something like a plunger:
Pulling out the brown parts of me
Slowly

I have been taught to pledge allegiance to the American fag:
Who has told me that coming out means leaving you
And this family and our culture
Means wearing this dress and thinking that it’s radical politics
Is feeling liberation for myself only and thinking that it is enough

Mom, let me apologize
With a cup of chai
I have forgotten the recipe 
But you can help me remember
How the white grains of sugar you drop in our mugs
Becomes brown when you stir hard enough
The perseverance of our people
How your fierceness
Does not need requite lace and makeup
But rather love and masala

I am twenty one years old and I am still refusing
to be a man because
I just want to be half the Indian woman you are
So maybe you can teach me how to tie a sari this time
So maybe we can cry together this time
And our tears will be what we needed to make this recipe
Just right

this is the 21st century and we need to redefine r/evolution. this planet needs a people’s r/evolution. a humanist r/evolution. r/evolution is not about bloodshed or about going to the mountains and fighting. we will fight if we are forced to but the fundamental goal of r/evolution must be peace. 

we need a r/evolution of the mind. we need a r/evolution of the heart. we need a r/evolution of the spirit. the power of the people is stronger than any weapon. a people’s r/evolution can’t be stopped. we need to be weapons of mass construction. weapons of mass love. it’s not enough just to change the system. we need to change ourselves. we have got to make this world user friendly. user friendly. 

are you ready to sacrifice to end world hunger. to sacrifice to end colonialism. to end neo-colonialism. to end racism. to end sexism. 

r/evolution means the end of exploitation. r/evolution means respecting people from other cultures. r/evolution is creative. 

r/evolution means treating your mate as a friend and an equal. r/evolution is sexy. 

r/evolution means respecting and learning from your children. r/evolution is beautiful. 

r/evolution means protecting the people. the plants. the animals. the air. the water. r/evolution means saving this planet. 

r/evolution is love.
