It’s been a day—
No—two days…
Unbelievable…
It’s been a week—
No—two weeks…
Unbelievable…
Unbelievable…
as if
Magic word directives uttered
in unison—were intoned
across all states, cities, counties,
hamlets, villages, ghettoes, barrios,
reservations, borders
same time; same day—unbelievable…
It’s been a month—
No—two months…
since ‘party lights’
red, white and blue;
since yellow tape command;
oinks on where to stand and
raucous rallies planned; since
ominous warnings to listeners
and viewers:
Since cops killed for fictional
While Black Violations of No
Law—
Unbelievable…
