How frail were my dreams

when they pictured you in them?

When I pictured you in them.

Glass canopies within my

glass fantasies now stained

glass fragility built into the framework

of a now shattered glass rain.

I absorb the cuts because I gave them to myself

even though

you gave them to me

even though

I knew better than to ignore the frailty

perhaps in my grey state

I figured only osteoporosis was in my bones but it looks to be in the skeleton of the fantasy

Glass and bones shatter all the same, it seems.

Bathe my beard in the waterfall

crashing down between your legs

until the taste of your essence

engulfs my senses and

I can no longer think

because I'm drowning in

your sea and at the same time

rescued by your thighs and

lapping up the nectar draining

from inside

Bathe my tongue in your sweat

running and flowing rivers toward your

verisimilitude, overflowing my

consciousness until the only

thing left to do

is drown

in your

truth

I'm told it's not what it was but what it is now that's important. About giving thanks and eating turkey and indulging in gluttony while watching a gridiron battle. It's not about what it was that's important but what it is now. History is irrelevant. The origin is irrelevant. The natives are irrelevant. The slaughter is irrelevant. The diseases spread is irrelevant. The genocide is irrelevant. The deceit is irrelevant. The misrepresentation is irrelevant. The fairy tale used to cover the truth is irrelevant. The pain they feel now is irrelevant. The dried blood on the soil is irrelevant. The washing away of their struggle is irrelevant.

America. The celebratory nation of mass murderers and homicidal bigots pedaling religion in the name of freedom and manifest destiny but pushing a history of

voyage instead of conquest,

exploration instead of colonization,

cohabitation instead of inhabitation,

cooperation instead of cultural destruction,

divine right instead of genocide,

consent instead of rape,

bartering instead of pillaging.

But I'm told it's not what it was but what it is now that's important.

Leading people on and then ghosting, instead of communicating, is perpetuating trash behavior - whether you acknowledge being trash or not. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

A shiny token

gleaming in the lights

distinct from the others.

"Can you teach me?"

One says.

"You're so good

I want to dance like you."

Another token in the machine.

What you think shooting your shot for friendship will look like on here:

I went on a rant because wywymn get on my nerves

I truly believe:

Every black person should get free therapy as part of reparations.

Every man/boy should be required to go to therapy starting at age 12.

Every wywxmn should be required to go to a black womxn therapist.

That is all.
