Cat O Nines

Starts NOW

When I was a wee lad, I saw an American science fiction movie called When Worlds Collide. It terrified me because it was about the end of the world.

In the beginning of the film, the audience saw words from The Holy Bible

 It was about God drowning all the evil people after Noah closed the doors to a giant boat called an ark. It’s on to The 20^th Century where Americans built a spaceship to take the best and the brightest to a new planet. Men and women were selected because they all had tech skills. They had genius. I didn’t see one Puerto Rican on that spaceship.

At The End, The Earth was destroyed and people were screaming in the audience! 

In that moment, I willed myself to become whiter than usual.

I became whiter than Casper The Friendly Ghost.   No way was I going to be LEFT BEHIND!!! Jesus Christ, were there any Hispanics on Krypton? Black people? Asians?

The first invention I ever created was a spaceship made from a Dixie cup.

I built my Enterprise and it worked inside my childhood mind of dreams

I’m not so much American now as I am someone who looks upon this country with alien eyes. I’ll help you get to the future. After all we want to go home to a better world.

Now let my people go so we make our own Big Bang Theory where Hispanics fly like Jedi.

And no canned laughter need apply.

Freedom is a kingdom
