dick

across my lips

that when your people landed on this land

a third of the indigenous population of the entire continent

died of disease.

a disorder with some new name

an anagram, an acronym

some UNDIAGNOSED

It’s an undiagnosed, undiagnosable thing in you

and you … and

And

And

And

And—

(Suddenly, from above, Rihanna’s “Work” begins to play.
