Not Without My Looking















You couldn't possibly have ended up in this spot without looking for me.
Someone did take you,
you're not the victim,
not without My looking,
into the care of the things you do,
the way you do things the things
that enable you to do these things, the
things you think while you do these
things, the things that you get
for doing these things.

(only this half, not the half with the negation)
If you could make it.
If that thing you stood for wasn't
anything other than the historical consequence
of slavery, if you weren't a fucking racist,
all of us.
