I arrived at 9 am
And I heard “good morning Mam”

She was sorting her mail
And stated “You like nail”?

I replied “Yes a manicure and pedicure”
Her reply: “I can do, sure”!

Here have seat,
I will do for you very neat.

We two
Will do

I did not understand
But figured one for my feet the other for my hand

It could not rest with peace
As they jabbered in Vietnamese.

They treated me as an object
With little respect

I tried to insist
But for them I did not exist

They communicated but not with me
How rude can one be

I felt frustration
An unpleasant sensation

But no need to get nervous
I came here for a service.

For my hand and feet
Which they provided very neat

No need to make waves or noise
I have no other choice

It is a pity
But every nail salon in this City

Treats their customers the same
Unless you have an Oriental name
