Complicit

Is this

worth it,

just for some

plastic?

Just for some

Made In China

labels?

Just for some

security

that was never ours?

Another

apartment

was renovated

in Brooklyn, yesterday.

3 generations

of bodies move on,

white faces walk in

and name

another place

their own.

Does the fountain

shower head

rain gold?

Is the comeless

sex with your husband

of nine years fulfilling?

Downtown Manhattan

lays on the back of slaves.

 

Where will you

lay your head tonight?

 

Will you join them?
