can we who are not black
stop
countering
contending
minimizing
misinterpreting
wondering
doubting
taking offense
redirecting
blaming
appropriating
hijacking
and, worst of all: ignoring
and can we who are not black
take time to learn
how
to say
to hear
to imagine
to believe
and to know
what ‘black lives matter’ means
and to learn why
it’s so important
for it to be said
for it to be heard
for it to be imagined
for it to be believed
for it to be known
by those of us who aren’t black.
