Fak You

And before you take your head back
Understand
I am from a people with names
Such as Faka and Faki
And coincidentally you probably have guessed their gender correctly
See in my language,
Fak, spelled F A K, is a good word
It is a word that blesses
It means to praise or to exalt.
So fak elliot and fak shakespeare
And fak you...!!!!
Now that you have learned a word in my language
Maybe I will learn one in yours
And then maybe the boxes we have put each other into
Will start to take the shapes of people
Standing across each other amidst the rubble
Arranging the stones trying to make something beautiful
Maybe my word will replace yours
And yours mine
Maybe then the falconer will hear the falcon
And things won't fall apart so often
But Until then,
From inside this box
dreaming
Fak everybody.
