Put me on the list.
I will not censor my poetry, my voice, for anyone's comfort. Put me on a list. You're telling me a sequence of words about how the American flag on the moon is a symbol of imperialism triggered your fragile conservatism? That's fine. Put me on a list. My poem about the planning of the revolution was flagged on rednote? Like I care. Put me on a list. I'm earning my name on lists like anarchist girl scout badges. Let me be remembered as a political poet, an outspoken poet, a poet who voices her truth, even if that earns my name on lists. I don't care. I will keep writing political poetry. Isn't all poetry, all art, political? Exactly. Put me on that fucking list. |
