Dear …You,
I saw you from the corner of my eye,
when you entered the fairly empty bus.
Looking for a seat,
in that fairly empty bus.
You were eliminating and thinking hard,
I could see…
from the corner of my eye.
Brown…you walk past…
Dark brown…walk fast…
Head turning, surveying
Only for a seat
Head turning
Eyes focusing
You find white,
And pale yellow…
Shortlisted
On the imaginary list
You made
since you hopped on,
on that fairly empty bus.
Pale yellow is scar face
White it is.
As predicted.
I was wishing it would not be
What I was thinking
And could see
I wished to tell You
How I felt
About the choices
About the process
Of eliminating
I wished to know
What was in your head
But then…
You decided to jump off
Before the signal turned red
The brown, dark brown and pale yellow
Have tears in their eyes…
Sad voices and sighs…
“he’s dead…”
Dear You…
Forgive me
For not feeling remorse
Or for the tears that were never wept
‘cause in your game of discrimination
It was YOU
Who faced elimination.
