From an interview I took part in today.
(Inpired Qwo-Li Driskill’s awesome comment WBAI today)
This body transgresses accidentally-
in grocery stores,
at bus stops,
on corners of street hailing cab.
This body transgresses purposefully
holds girl’s hand in park
dancing in autumn’s first fallen leaves
stealing public kisses.
Tape political signage to both self and chair
marching for hours in weather
too frigid, too blistering, too soggy
to endure for reasons other than revolution.
Obsess over need to free others
from the institutional bias
and loved ones who overprotect
for their own good.
This body transgresses
always in all ways.
Might as well celebrate.
