Can the subaltern speak?

You only get words
If you're an nth generation immigrant
Where n is not  zero.
(Makes sense -
0 is nought
a naturalized number).

But
The words you receive are magical:
"Thank you (for leaving your home)"
From rupi kaur daughters, and
"Sorry (can you repeat that)"
From everyone else.
