if black were human
it would be already
if you were breathing
you would be all ready
for all of their bark,
if opinions were just
like assholes after all
& not the trap
doors in our dying box,
if brown were human
it would already be
clear there was not
enough for everyone,
& that not enough
was the problem
& not all of us,
scared white as human
after being reminded:
if human were enough
it would be already.
