" Data Haiku "
by Suzán Jiván
I
Data made public
estimates and projections
long been expected
II
Weighing a hard line
while wrestling mightily
with a white milestone
III
Bitter civil rights
from the days of slavery
mostly recently
IV
A majority
Hispanics, blacks and Asians
with those of mixed race
V
Broad implications
restrictive immigration
as transformation
VI
Highly-charged debates
compelling and disturbing
so far shied away...
