i cannot wait for you to decide
my revolution is worth your time
i cannot whisper these explosions into your ears anymore
for you to ignore
the crumbling-restarting
of the womanhattan project
i am tired of stalling
movement
"It's just a game," she said glaring straight into (and through) my eyes, i couldn't believe it. she was here falling away in my arms, and i was crying
i could not adapt to the ghosts catching flames in your eyes
i did not move quickly enough when i realized we
were earth
quaking
and shaking at our roots
this house is falling apart
and i don't have time to save the fur coats
i am an island

i can lean in close and smell your cigarette stained eyeballs
when you whisper that you are tired
of being a teacher's artist
when you whisper through your teeth that you want to explode
like frida kahlo
on your canvas
like art
latitude
attitude
fix your
run away
into a new day
in case you didn't know ceunturies of institutionalized racism against "3rd world countries"
who were too 'stupid' to make technological advancements that made (white) people rich
is truly because they lived in the wrong
ATTITUDE
to benefit from an environment that made high yield crops possible
which would have made division of labor possible
which would have made them rich
please fix your
LATITUDE
back
track take
a step back
remember the hole you fell through to get there
remember the rocks
and the wind
and the sun
lunettes de soleil
wake up
take a backtrack
