The first of two related poems in which an imaginary dialogue takes place between the Speaker and the Researcher. The versions juxtapose what an immigrant says in the interview and what he/she is expected to say, feel and think. The first poem: “Censored” erases much of the text to present a dominant, status quo perspective.
