Answer Some of My Questions


by Ji Hye Shin

 

I am crossing the Canadian border
To see Niagara Falls

In side the border checkpoint booth
The sharp eyes of the police ask me

Show me yourr passport and visa
Do you not have food?
Alcohol?
What's the purpose of your crossing the border?
How many days are you going to stay?
Where do you currently live and where do you go now?
When are you going back?

Question marks tightly surround me
But how stereotyped phrases of questions these are!

I ask you back
How did you come to this planet?
Did you bring your own food?
What's the purpose of ypour traveling the earth?
And how many days will you be staying?

And
When are you going back?
