Profiling

December 1, 2011

Embarrassed isolation
Center of that spotlight on a darkened stage
Red hot anger surrounded by blackness
For that singe instant
When he looked across the table at me
And playing with the yellow dye #5 canned corn
On our lunch plates
Said
“I hate this yellow corn… yellow you.”

It’s got our beautiful children

Living in all kinds of hell

Coping to survive and

Makin’ it well

Swinging together in

Misty darkness with all

Editor's note: this story is written in response to the murder of indigenous elder John T. Williams by Seattle po'lice officer Ian Birk in Seattle, Washington on Aug. 30, 2010; the go-f-yerself response from Mayor McGinn and the City of Seattle; and the spit-in-your face final payoff of the Williams family. The chapter is NOT closed.
