 Part of the Poetry Commons 
I don’t always have something to say and  
This too is poetry. Think of 
All the moments we decide on keeping quiet in fear of  
Jinxing a dream. 
Remember all the people who say nothing when 
Another Black man’s death means there is 
More of them and less of us.  
 
Haven’t you also grown a little too comfortable with the silence 
That ensues once the protests are over 
And the streets clear  
The lights turn off 
And everyone goes back inside? 
 
Doesn’t this also  
Say something 
About you?  
 
The aftermath
