Cascadian Colonization

 

 

 

 

 

and now you don't belong

because you've been here

too long out of place in

the place I've been

all along.

 

Saying The Quiet Part Out Loud

 

cannot see them where they sit 

do not know them but i know 

the trees bloom above where 

a man who is black has been 

shot again she says to the other

like kicking a dog it’s probably 

wrong he probably shouldn’t 

have died she concedes but 

breaking windows is what’s 

really wrong she says

as the trees bloom above.
