Too

Fair for brown

Yellow for white

Light for black

Dark in the summer

Tan, but not redskin

Beige in winter

(But certainly not as white as)

Vitamin D-ficient and tired

Far from the sun

Blonde for colored

Round, but still slanted

Exotic to be the white boys' mother

Creole for solidarity

Mixed to be full

Diluted for land lottery

Traumatized to know

Displaced to see

Well-spoken to be inarticulate

Fluent to need translation 

Melted in the pot

Hot to sip

Spicy for the white man's tongue

Unfamiliar with code switch (not me)

Native to be remembered

Recent to be mourned

Stealth to notice theft

United to see the island

Far from home

Settled at a distance
