BANANAS AND TWINKIES 
BY TIFFANY T. CHEN
Chinese poems possess rigid structures Each noun parallels another noun Every verb has a match All lines compliment their predecessors This piece contains Chinese precision, but The words are English words Yellow skin swathes white fruit Golden cake envelopes milky cream
Tiffany Chen ’13 has never eaten a Twinkie before.
