On the day Toni Morrison Died

a poem, a tribute, a plea

On the day Toni Morrison died I argue about what racism is

With a white man online Who wants to believe that all races are racist

And that white people are just as likely to be victims As anyone else

Who does not think structure is real, or that oppression has roots Who wants to take up my time, take up my time, take up my time

Who wants to insist that I am racist for writing poetry about white men Who are being racist

On the day Toni Morrison died Those who need to read her most

Still haven’t Still won’t

Rest in peace, Mrs. Morrison God knows we sure don’t have that down here
