AMERICAN SONNET FOR MY PAST AND FUTURE ASSASSIN

A remix of “Pony” by Ginuwine plays

While half a dozen beautiful black men

Strut onstage wearing translucent black

Housecoats then pause with their backs

To us before a slow twerking as half a dozen

Beautiful black women walk onstage in sharp

Alabaster tuxedoes and surgical masks

But we can see the weeping inside them.

A white audience member, it may be a man

Or woman of any age, is invited up to crow

In the middle of a circle the dancers make.

I have sent tickets of this show to my white friend

Who is determined to write about black people

And to my black friends determined to police him.
