Where Do You Come From?

In most parties
I went to
Or in some public
Gathering
Around cafe shop 
table
the most 
top
and routine
questions
I have been subject to
And 
I tried
Unsuccessfully
To digest
During these
Last five years
Is 
“what is your name?”
“How do you pronounce it?”
“where do you come from?”

See,
They come
In a bundle
One pack
The same sequence
Same wave length
The same algorithm

I do know where people 
Learned
The stuff
Was it in first grade?
Second?
Fifth grade?
May be
To deal with the country 
needs to 
An urgent
Diversity.
