right now I am free to walk down the street
to be threatened by white men in white vehicles
free to go to the market and shops
to be harassed by white men in red hats
they think to intimidate, bully, and scare
by looming larger than they actually are
I have no fear of them or their kind
nothing they can do will make me afraid
I am freer than they can ever know
in ways that they can never understand
will not hesitate to look at them and ask
would you like to talk
