We have no place that we can claim without contention
We are constructing a whole new edifice of boxes
to put people in
To protect a space inside which you can exist
Very concerned about giving names (giving names)
Dissatisfaction seems like
the natural byproduct of identification
I truly believe that people who define you control you
And the most significant thing
that any person can do but especially black women and men
is to think about who gave them
their definitions and rewrite those definitions for themselves
