KHADIJAH RASHID
maybe when i’m older
i’ll get to talk to you
maybe when i’m older
we’ll discuss all that we’ve been through
maybe you’ll respect my choices
and i’ll respect yours, too
maybe when i’m older
i’ll get to talk to you
but in the meantime,
we’ll keep a safe distance
in the meantime,
we’re still deep in that resistance
that we’ll be able to look at
with retrospect from where we’re sat
seeing each other more clearly
across the room
when i’m older, and maybe
i come sit next to you
