Even though
You do not know
Who I am
Hug me my chimpanzee
Sisters and brother

Let us speak for each other
In homogeneity
That leaves us
One of the same substance

In a fantasy of high spirit
Perhaps
One of you
Is waiting
For me to return
To an island of green and sun
To be
A lover of your life

Even
Without a mirror
I am always reminded of
Who I am
A multicolored being
Without a special label
Still
When you call me yellow
I feel blue

No phrase is needed
From anyone
I am a sister of
The chimpanzees

As though nothing will
Be resolved
Next time
When you call me yellow
I will paint blue
