Out with the mouth guard.
In with the flipper. If you
don’t know, you’re lucky.
11/2
Silver-haired driver.
“Now see here, Dumbledore!” Ha!

and sway on their way from sky
perch to rusty ground.
11/3
Today’s tough topics:
reparations, guilt, fear, shame.
And don’t forget: love.
11/4
A doom loop. App shows
one booking, then the other.
Never together.
11/5
There are those who love
the time change, even stay up
to watch it happen.
11/6
His name was Moses
and he called me ma’am.
Not in Boston now!
11/7
The actual bus
where Rosa Parks sat, displayed
in Montgomery.
11/8
For walking past a
house where a white woman bathed
they strung him up. Dead.
11/9
Storefronts boarded up
with plywood. Abandoned gas
stations. Weeds. Selma.
11/11
If the Black Bayou
could talk, what would it say? “Oh
sleep, sweet Emmett, sleep.”
