Walk fast enough
that you can un-huddle
your shoulders…
Exercise
Feel blood moving fast,
hear the ground crunch underfoot…
white privilege includes
looking to make sure you show
up fine when your camera
flash is on the fritz
at the charity banquet,
while your friend blends
into the dimly-lit background…
I’ve been up already. I even ate breakfast, checked email…and made space on the couch to take a nap. I woke up in time for lunch and finished the episode I fell asleep to.
Now it’s time to check off the first thing on the to-do list, which is take a long walk…
a biblical bachelor
would make an awful playmate
but a lethal playmate
might make a cheerful
