jefe, todavía no saben

under color of race on your death certificate
they have you down as white
you fought against that label all your short life, jefe
and now they have you down as white
they had you down when you lived, down
because you were too brown
dead on arrival when you arrived to be white
you were brown, empty whiskey bottles
brown as the adobe dirt you shattered those bottles against
dead now, you arе white
unless specifiеd suicide or homicide, i scribbled out “accident”
and wrote in “suicide”
i scribbled out “white” and wrote in “chicano”
i erased “caused by aspiration of meat”
and wrote in “trying to be white.”
