secular diaspora
in parts
i.
when someone meets you
and thinks you are a jewish bitch
there's no changing their mind.
ii.
when a man says
oh, she's trying to be all sexy
referring to you
you are embarrassed
because you are not trying
to be all sexy
iii.
when a couple meets you and they think you're irish and don't believe you and laugh when you say you're jewish, it's kind of a relief they like you
iv.
when some
jewish person finds out you're
jewish
and thinks you're “jewish like them”
it's worse than skinheads
v.
when people tell you jewish stories to
prove they are
not anti-semitic, like you give a fuck,
you taste the bitter tinniness of token
vi.
when your friend sees you roll your eyes or laugh, talk trash, bitching about a jew, they feel comfortable enough to do it, too
vii.
when you drink tea you like it
hot
and you blow on it
you wave your hand over the steam of your tea
cup and you could be anywhere.
