30 I will change my name -- Again and again; Have a plastic surgeon change my face; I will immigrate, Forget my mother's language; Dye my hair, Change my skin color, My eye color; Change and change my lovers; Alter my faith, My sex, Trying and Trying To scrape down, imprint, with breaking Nails, screeching, My name On the transparent glass Of forever.
