Spooks - Stella Yin-Yin Wong
PINEAPPLE
Lucy Liu, don’t worry,
I remember you
from the movie
Chicago where
Richard Gere said
your mother owned all
the pineapples
of Hawaii because
of course
with the surname Baxter,
you’d be an American
Kitty, bastardized roots
for this yellow fruit.
You’d be the most far-out
almost foreign
villain/villanelle sweet-
heart of America. I wonder
if, in addition to kneeing
two guys, you felt something break
your mother’s heart, captured
in your sights
the faces of the man and women of
America cheating on
the imperiled overrich.
You teach me how to act
imperial. Overreach.
Act as if gold-
medalled, first-
prized for what
lines you land,
which marks you flay.
Lucy Liu, you are no
dragging lady
of the spouse.
Sidekick,
take the addict
and make a detective
out of Sherlock.
Joan Watson,
you are kōan
and kingmaker
and go on
not as an
othered best friend
but as a game changer.
Also Lucy Liu,
you are good
at being the head
of a crime ring.
Lucy Liu, you’ve had
no real need
to keep
a ring of men around
you. O-Ren,
they’re dead
meat as you see
the white woman
in a yellow skin-
tight suit
can really pick them
off, easy. You’re the hit
list’s top billing.
When she beheads you,
plant your crown.
Your trunk will grow back
where you went down.
You show me
I can come
to fruition
and yellow on my own
terms.
Lucy Liu do not stay
silent this is not
an old black-and-
white. You are well
within your rights.
You can feel free
to be bad
and reel
me in.
If you can act
then I can act out.
This is not your death
scene. You can afford
to take the heads off
everyone in the room
and not leave them in
one piece. If they will
remember you for your murder
why not make a killing.
WHO’D ROB GOD?
You break it you pay for it.
I’m so very bored with all my jesuses today.
I already talked to them in a baby voice
and by them, I mean all of
