& i was over it & full halfway thru
care anyway
even if over culture doesnt
even if no tech job or hospital will ever care
home language is home language
learn it for you
oh thought it was too weird to learn
who would i even speak it to?
college application wont care
future job wont care
etc etc
i dont want anyone to have regrets
like oh, i really wish i learned my grandma's language better while she was here
that's all
im saying,
overculture tries so hard to monoculture
so much poetry lost?
i know everything fades & naturally dies
but how many languages are lost in a year?
last speaker gone
we are turning that around
all of us are
if its popular & remembered well
& carried forward & little girls like pru dress up happily as little witches
all seems well to me
seems well managed
seems remembered
like.. a lot of dissertations written
a lot of books
people go there in october
should americans not learn about the salem witch trials?
i dont know that much about it
cos i was never particularly attracted to it & it seemed so popular i left it to everyone else
like, is that so illegal of me
