from lil ol me !
To
seat ripple in your courteous privilege,
faux camera nudge, dawn at line, body odor
paper rattle, foot step, foot step.
a spoken unspoken wide weathered waiting
face a green brak un-word: i was standing (not for)
impermanent-----what should we do
my resident xray. expensive machine,
peeling walls. privileged ache
on the right, wrong line. ivory enamel
sound. no talking. overnight the wash dries. abayah. shouldn't
we be over here (the women's side). where
are the michaels
jackson (mentioned over) tea, women. "lift up
your shirt" shocking
layers trying to keep privilege
warm as the checkered red white
head wraps, other answers
early morning multi colored plastic chairs
traffic, insta photo, insta photo, traffic
we were waiting in rows cold
for the privilege
to go, finally, double spaced
to do to work to eat to sleep to listen to touch
to dream to do to dream to do to dream to love. to
