Reading as a Form of Protest

Imagine a society where we had empathy for those with opposing views. Imagine a society where we read more and fought less.

Streets

No one trusts the city streets any longer, and the streets trust no one either. The buildings, too, tip their gutters to pour their algae onto mute life.

Out on the Lake

I’ve figured out other things too, things that would be obvious to anyone but me, like how those friends weren’t really my friends. They were Buddy’s. And going our own ways would feel like nothing.

Mud Blood

You can’t place me. I could be any
thing in the summer
when my tan has vacationing ladies
in Williamsburg touching my arms, wet gaze on my frizz—
can you believe I’m from where you are, lady?
