amazed at the reserve
atleast
I hope thats what it is
because surely you are not
the corruption we were discussing heatedly
back in unbearable silence
far enough from those screaming for help

its factual that we are unsafe in America
how is it you look at me
and ask for the future

gender cannot save us
race cannot save us
money is being used against us
and we make it real

apathy doesn’t need us to know
how it has taken over those
that were proud to be white

I invited you to a rich human progression
that is also where the best of you has come
blackness
nativity
Africa
the pioneers of being so envied
because of our long earned intimacy
with nature
the jealousy
that made colonialism a thing
calmly
genocidally
referred to as whiteness

you were right to be angry
you were wrong to stop

im invested fully in the business
of deconstructing whiteness
and ******* on its confidence
misplaced in humanity
lost and trying to drag us into no where
