Averting eye gazes is like a game Acknowledging existence and Admiring appearances is a death sentence in this town. 2. I wanted to be like the man of many relics Fingers covered in rings and trinkets Bracelets of all types Samplings of all religions Rope around his fingertips to never forget Where it all begins. 3. I want to be like Marjorie From the housekeeping company Whispering prayers in her sleep Ancient mantras from ancestors Freestyling her lullaby As she is rocked in a steel crib Like the noble God-child, weary. 4. 3 policemen walk into a subway it was less of a joke, and more of a despairing epiphany that I officially did not feel safer with them around I felt anger at the Blue Lives Matter bracelet tightly wrapped around his walkie-talkie– Someone made that, someone had that manufactured So I would see the symbolism in the denial of a system that devalues me they talked candidly and leaned back on their professional patches on the subway doors, I stopped writing poems, Spiritually and historically stunted Until they walked off.
