Don'T Call Me Immigrant: For Audrey Williams-Sapp

Don't call me immigrant Call me cherry tree With pink and white cherry blossoms Don't call me immigrant Call me sunny butterfly With swallowtail Don't call me immigrant Call me yellowtail snapper In the cold waters of Florida Don't call me immigrant For Pradesh the taxi driver may not come Pavlov, so well dress, may not open the door The coffee may not bring vodka nor rum And your children may not see Tina anymore Don't call me immigrant I am just a cloud laden with your rain.
