幸運餅乾 - Fortune Cookie
Fried rice with a small cookie on the side,
Your fortune written in English on one side
On the flipside, a Chinese character with the meaning translated to English.
A constant snack for Chinese cuisines here in America
Yet, never served in China
Local here, just like us
Chinese, yet American
Accepted for its taste and fortune
Special, yet common
Yellow on the outside, white on the inside
Written in little red letters a fortune for you
What a fortune cookie you are.

who says, "I wrote 幸運餅乾 a few years back for a college course based on my own struggles with my bicultural identity as an Asian American seeing how different Asian and American cultures are."
