“Solace”
When I build solace,
I do it not
with faith
in what I build
or faith in you,
with whom I build,
but, rather,
faith that we’re
better builders
together than apart

“You Gotta Be Perfect”
why does he have to be
perfect to justify his life?
why do her words have to be
academic so you hear them?
why do they have to be
anything other than
themselves for you to
leave them
the fuck alone?

“Silence”
Silence for what

Silence drums loud
for all the
peace never touched

refuge never found

“Blissful”
Power & Privilege
treats the police
like their friendly
hall security guard,
blissfully or
intentionally ignorant
of the violence
inherent in protecting
the powerful from
the powerless

Good Trouble pt. 2”
he prays for you
to find Good Trouble,
the kind
thudding in your heart
over the feverish
whispers in your head
to move aside
to obey
to just shut up

“Respect”
respect is hard to give
when it’s never been
given
no matter what,
and even harder
to imagine
life without,
when it’s always been
given
no matter what

what is Good Trouble?
when all trouble,
any disrupting of
Order & Status
has been labeled
as a perversion,
anti-American?
