She can tell by the color of
Your skin that
You are armed and dangerous:
Armed with your camera and
Dangerous in your ability to
Reveal her to the world
And you scare her
As she tries to scare you
She can’t – that catalyst is dead
The epithet weaponized with
Her vehemence and jealousy
Yes, better to be caught racist than
Wanting what you have
And what she has (so obviously) lost
Control
No longer can she lynch you
Verbally or otherwise
All the power in Jim Crow
Could not kill you
Someone should tell her
In her pitiable
Ignorance
Parading
White privilege indeed
