forget this word
and you will remember
the great forgetting
the sea of it
what you know
and do not know
more like them now
than you know
maybe you should
say thank you
maybe you should

try to remember
what is already forgotten
just as good as it is
just as good as
speaking your name
in public, you mary you
john you, you impossible
evolution, you just
that’s just the way things are
many you remember
many of you remember
to make a you out get out
of tragedy, you forget
many things you have done
to do what is best, what is right
to survive, to be better
good enuff, enuff said
you black eyed pea
you collard green
you bread pudding
you sweetness you forever
when did it happen
when did you become
become a new beginning
a something else
do you choose or accept
did you die born again
or did you go down
and into that swamp
did you rise up
israelite like, or did you
keep secret, did you choose
or were you chosen
the forgetful remember best
it is clean and white napkin
the worst forget ugly
jet black soiled cloth sin
does she wear a white dress
does she sing angels
does he bow his head
does he say yes sir
so proud of it
so proud of what
so much of it
stuffed into
your ears
your lungs
your heart
your mouth
it comes back out
like forgetting, never
escape, never, now
you are here forever
like the god did this to you
like your name is tattooed
to your soul, like your skin
is all you got
like when when
when you die
heaven will ask
how black you are?
