This is Champagne Song from solitary confinement. Please visit prairielanddefendants.com
This is a poem I wrote called “My Onion, Your Onion.”
My Onion, Your Onion
In East Asia, green onion is the original onion,
The standard,
The go-to.
In Japanese, we say negi.
Other onion is tamanegi,
Egg onion.
In Korean, we say pa.
The round onion is yang pa,
Western onion.
Try putting green onion on everything.
It goes with soups, stir fries, fried rice, salads, chili.
Thin cylinders, finely chopped,
Or we like to use scissors.
It’s mild and refreshing.
It’s original and green.
This is Champagne Song sentenced to a hundred years for anti-fascism.
These commentaries are recorded by Prison Radio.
