I’m on the beach

Reading Noor Hindi

And her poetry shoots fire

To purify and/or destroy

I don’t have the SPF for this

“I want to understand you,” I think

“No, you don’t,” she says

“No, i don’t, ” I agree.

How could I? her’s is a different world

And I’m on the beach

Next to my $2,000 bike

In the quiet

In the peace

Watching families swim in privilege

And I will dive in again and again
