for Abraham Joshua Heschel who proclaims that Racism is man's gravest threat to man. 
 
 
'those slanted eyes' 
in the room silence 
like thunder 
 
racism talk 
what does white 
smell like?  
 
 
Note:  The phrase, 'slanted eyes, ' is a racist slur that refers to a person of Asian descent, especially of Chinese descent.
