(This is a new poem of mine. I am going to submit it to the Kennesaw Review. They have a annual poetry contest. Give me feedback. Good. Not good. Needs work. Why?) Watch Me White eyes trace the length of my stride the measure of my reach They don't speak or assist me They watch me Their eyes parsing and suspecting glance over my importance, my being They watch me But I say watch me You want find disingenuousness I am earnest and labor long like that other man Watch me If that makes you feel like your doing your job But it's that man, white man, you should watch Your ignorance has served you err When you look at me I know you see a color, a stereotype Watch me But I am none of these |
