Go pack to the speaker of the poem.
Where does her 'disposition' and her 'sourness' really come from?
What is it really that's 'behind her shoulder'?
I don't believe that she believes she is being 'racist or unfair'
and i think it's because 'racism' and unfairness' are what she lives with...both 'still' and 'so far'.
I like the poem. It feels true to me. I don't know if that 'unravels' what I said before.
