Demanding
On that Saturday, when wind touched my hair
hair that fizzed and coated my face with curls
and your smile was bright and mischievous
You reminded me of something

You reminded me why I am scared
scared of police, jackets black, eyes cold
you joke, you think it’s all a game
but its not, it’s life

You remined me that when people say 
all lives matter all they are thinking about is themselves 
That’s when they get defensive, when they say
something racsist they just care about themselves 
they never are caring about anyone else

You reminded me that you don’t think of 
me as anything but white 
and that you don’t want to hear about 
my passion which is social justice 

You reminded me that we once were friends
