Utilizing academic English
well-educated am I deemed.
but yo – when speakin’ African American Vernacular
I feel funky a' free.
Immersed in Indian English I’m ready to do one thing:
discuss the origin of the universe with anyone dilligently.
butt if shifting ta mutant Anglish
weird poetry gushes outta me spleen.
When switching to Japanese, <I> more polite & context-conscious seem
doch wenn speaking German fühle ich mich like a Tourist
expressing only basic Dinge.
Shifting to Spanish I convierten en a gringo estúpido
who has a pasión por comprar-r-rating.
Dànshì, moving to Chinese I become a cryptographer
who can read, bùguò hardly speak.
Finally trying French, I become a barbare
whose celtique et germanique sang
seems uncouth & clodhopping:
parfait pour cloistered concavities
et les marbres en sourdine !
