I require many features
That restrict me
From many other Xs, and Ys.
I require a [+HUMAN] feature;
I am a human being.
I require a [+ FEMALE] feature;
I am a woman.
I require a [+ TUNISIAN] feature;
I am Tunisian.
I require a [+MULTIDIALECT] feature;
I say "yahbeni".
I say "ha guelly".
I say " yahchouchoo".
I say "yahchoumy".
I require a [+MULTILINGUAL] feature;
I say "Oh my God".
I say "Oh mon Dieu".
I require a [+FREEDOM] feature;
I need to be free.
In case of violation;
In case I end up with a [-FREEDOM] feature;
I require a [+REVOLUTION] feature.
I revolt.
I revolutionize.
And I get back my [+FREEDOM] feature.
I require a [+PRIDE] feature;
The adjective "proud" is attached to me
Just like bound morphemes need
To be attached to other morphemes.
I am X.
I am a human being.
I am a woman.
I am "multidialectal".
I am multilingual.
I am free.
I revolt.
And most of all,
I am proud to be X!
