“when asked how to avoid being seen as racist” at Identity Theory

I am happy to have my strange little sonnet “when asked how to avoid being seen as racist” published in Identity Theory .


I think sex with animals is problematic. I think racism is problematic. These two facts are at the root of this poem (which is based on a joke I was once told).

And if you thought this poem involves any drunk children having sex with goats, you should sue your elementary school, you’ll need the money to make up for your poor reading comprehension skills.


Also read the companion poem “when asked what I learned during the ‘community forum’ on the appropriateness of my poem” out from Bending Genres.
