The reason
to be embarassed
watching the white kid
play the black kid
is the reason to cringe
when your daughter
dreams of vampires
& the reason
you only put
the words of others
in your mouth
& spent your best years
chasing reflections
of reflections
which is the reason
that builds nations
of people not admitting
that not even
your best friend
or your own mother
or your very own partner
can hurt
where you hurt
how you hurt
& there isn’t
a damn thing
any of us can do
about that.
