don’t ask me my favorite island
Twenty-one countries
three continents
and although America
may no longer be great
it is the place i was born in
don't ask me my favorite island
countless cities
sleepless nights
and although we are shackled
by capitalism
i still believe
freedom exists in our hearts
don't ask me my favorite island
A native of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Resident of Hawai'i
i took a ride down by Umauma Falls
while my father works out on
Neville Island
i said i would write about my mother
growing up along the Monongahela
if Germany rebuilt The Wall
even it would be an island
i have built a home in Hawai'i
an immigrant in the twenty-first
century
Mele Kalikimaka and
Hau'oli Makahiki Hou
But i'm taking a trip to
the Maldives in Spring
don't ask me my favorite island
