Take the Train
The trembling rumble of the train and
Soft hiss of the air flow
Remind me that movement is constant and good
Taking us somewhere new, some destination with experiences to come which could not have been before boarding.
To remain stagnant is to not change, not progress, not evolve.
We must rumble forth, take the next step, and
Choose which stop is best

Please, please, please let Langston Hughes’s words written in 1936 ring true in the 2020s
“O, let America be America again— / The land that never has been yet— / And yet must be—the land where every [hu]man is free.”

The Male Gaze
I can feel your eyes on me. They're burning me. You're imagining what I look like with no clothes on. You don't know me.
Your eyes just won't look away. I'm just trying to ride the subway. Please look away.
I feel your desire
I wish I didn't,
I wish you wouldn't.
Just
Leave
Me
Alone
I wish I could say it with my eyes, but if I look in
your direction you'll think I want it
You will think that I like you objectifying me. Looking at me but not really seeing me. You see my skin, you see my shape, you see my looks
But you don't see
Me.
