Suburban Takeout

Let's workshop this poem about Chinese massage parlors

---

Suburban Takeout 

Racialized moans 
(“Get it good, chink bitch:
like a little monkey”),
sometimes tipping

beyond under breath, 
at the pinnacle strokes 
of a happy ending 
blur-oiled by a hand

too tiny for such 
grip strength—a neon
massage parlor, “Hunan
So-Yung,” near us all.
