Here’s our November installment of “Bushwick Bohemia Beat Poetry” curated by Bushwick-born poet, Emanuel Xavier. The series features poems by Bushwick residents. This month’s poem comes from Emanuel Xavier himself. As featured in the 2012 reprint of Americano, it speaks to the current immigration and birthright citizenship news in the media.
If I were to give myself to you completely,
would it matter that I didn’t come from your womb?
