And why would they?
I’m a white, male, American
by some lights disappeared into age
Immigrant grandparents
from a safe country i.e. white
No matter what
if you’re white, you’re alright
I’m deep in the disease of d’s
disordered, disgusted, depressed
can’t open a news feed without
disturbances of brain and gut
Yeats’ beast
is half grown
strinding through power
smashing statuary
coming for somebody
but
Nobody’s Coming for Me
not now…not yet.
