Immigrant. A poem by Chandra Gurung


You can't understand what I'm saying? Why don't you understand? Not one word? How come? I can't be bothered to explain, either you get it or you get out. Out of my way.

You useless piece of shit, you can't even speak my language. I have to deal with these useless people that come here for a pick-up and don't understand a thing. This parasite doesn't understand a word I say.
