assimilate
to disappear from the suspicious leers of strangers
who say the word "ethnicity" like it's an obscenity
because the scars of the distant past offend us
and inflicted psychic wounds bind us to things
groping fingers can't grasp
like children born of ghosts...

..always glad to get your thoughts, David.
You've touched on much of what I was driving at. So, for the moment, at least, I can't say more--it's such a complicated matter and one that feels almost too tender to handle without proper care.
Have a good evening,
Rachel
I could do without the crowd clapping in the background, but then that's just me complaining because I'm listening to Paul Simon on my cellphone rather than live...
