In case anyone who is non-Black is wondering, this sense of hopelessness with the law is an Ongoing African American Feeling™️ On this first day of Black History Month, unfortunately I have to introduce my White allies to this emotion. This is how Black folks have felt since the 16th century.

Black Lives Matter fundamentally broke these people’s brains. They couldn’t bear the idea that they might have to tell a different story about this country and thus tell a different story about themselves. They hated it, and now they are using everything they have to never feel that way again.

Student asked me today, "How many cardigans do you own?" I said, "One, two, three, four, five, plus, five." A single student said, "Ayy!" I laughed, they laughed. We're now bonded forever.

A friend of mine is doing this poetry postcard project, and so I’m writing a bunch of poems to people I’ve never met. I’ve decided now is a great time to try and learn how to write sonnets in the style of Terrence Hayes. So, I’m sorry to everybody who gets these terrible Sonnets, basically.
