And . . . don’t sleep before midnight.
And don’t fret over the Poles.
We in the same fix
with the Pope’s position on lust
and family protection
a storefront on every corner
in Manhattan.
Don’t be no fool, now, cool.
Imperialism by any other name
is imperialism.
Even Vietnam was finally over.
It’s all the same —
a-rabs, gooks, wogs, queers —
a nigger by any other name . . .
Johannesburg is Jamesburg, New Jersey.
Apartheid is the board of education
in Canarsie.
So . . . don’t be taken in your sleep now.
Call your assailant’s name now.
Leave the building empty
the doors unlocked
and raise the windows high
when they pass by.
Leave signs of struggle.
Leave signs of triumph.
And leave signs.
