Microaggressions<\/span><\/h2>\n

To be told you’re so articulate, to hear
\nhow smart you are as if you’re not
\nsupposed to be, to be told what you are<\/p>\n

despite your opinion, to hear a welcome
\nto the performance poetry world instead
\nof just the poetry world, to be told how<\/p>\n

you’re rare to have come from your
\nenvironment as if that is a compliment,<\/p>\n

to hear how you’re a tiger, endangered
\nall the time, when you just want to be,<\/p>\n

to feel the impact of microaggressions
\nwhen nobody else can feel them so they
\ndon’t believe you about your tragic pains.
