anticipation?
astonishingly
allegedly
you are a predator shadowed and as a
predator does not recognize consent
taking
intruding
stealing
disappearing
as a survivor I take this energy
flipping
stealing time itself
bringing attention
disrupting the order of the systemic order
taking time to speak
taking opportunity
getting my voice and name heard
not a predator then but
infidel
protester
civil rights activist
human rights activist
social justice activist
revolutionary
you may fit
somewhere in that but for now
you appear to me as
somewhat predatory because part of
your issue in countering that
perhaps mistaken impression is that because
you have not truly dismantled
your own sexism
your own homophobia
your own elitism
your own inner racism
or only as much as
you believe
you should appear to do
your interaction with me and so
we have some challenges occasionally
just us talking though
we still good with all that in mind
