Maybe These Are Better Days (COVID)
Sun, and all that May can be
in a park that remains no matter what happens
three quarters of this country said
they support the protesters who are young
and mixed and marching
and we are reading together
books about blackness books about whiteness
learning what we should have learned long ago
even the Pope and George W and Mattis said
No and Ella Jones the first black mayor of Ferguson
and we can see what we believe and know
of people and hope and all that is possible
After This.
