world poetry day #uniteagainstracism


educated, white middle class wealth, 
reading story books with pictures of my skin



not patted down when stopped for speeding,
no one in my family has been shot 



opportunity to speak, to intervene,
to return clothing without a receipt 



a garden sprouting with hope, 
confident of grandchild laughter

awareness of my 
impact, 

release

intention

my privilege...
