Kyoka
 

 

 

 

Jan Oskar Hansen, PT

 

A full face veil
Like the ghost of a schooner
Sails through our town
We fear and want her banned
A Muslim woman shopping.

 

 

Ruled by the *toffs,
social welfare, and banks--
If you are poor
the state doesn’t want to know.
Find a soup kitchen, my friend.

*toffs: In British English slang, a toff is a mildly derogatory term for someone with an aristocratic background, particularly someone who exudes an air of superiority.

 

 

He gave her rubies
unclean as coagulated blood
that looked like stones
rocks should come in a nice box...
she gave them to an orphanage

 

 

Are you enslaved
in the suit tailor Cohen sews?
Do anti semetis
buy their suits off the rack
or find Muslim outfitters?
