The Tiger Wife

for Wendi Deng

tiger tiger tiger wife
wonder woman volleyball spike
if you have an Asian wife
maybe she’s not just a gold-digger?

tiger wife or trophy wife?
slam-down sister or socialite?
bright pink jacket and pencil skirt
not like gold-digger who wants old man hurt

Wendi Deng is a Power Ranger
with Crazy Asian Magic Powers
was in Red Army? trained to kill?
agile PYT hit like a girl

Crouching tiger? flying Murdoch?
tiger wife clawed her way up
Chinese bloggers catch Deng fever
Wendy Daaaang her homegirls call her

thank you for everything #mrmiyagi
business school graduate? yoga devotee?
from communist obscurity
“herro you rike pilate DVD?”

wonder woman volleyball spike
if you have an Asian wife
what if she’s not just a gold-digger?
