45 by Mukta Sambrani

45 

Or how to fill a book with hate speech

Or how I have no response in words

Or brush strokes

Or how?  45?

 

Political

She speaks with voice. With conviction, experience,

She is the voice of the times,

She has no voice.

She has no time. No time for 45.

 

If

I engage this nothing to say, to say, like

I have no response for 45. I should be okay.

I don’t tweet. I am nothing to 45.

I am nothing he knows. But then, he knows nothing.

 

Forty- five, for all times,

Fortify, at all times,

Resist, in all things,

Racist- forty- five.

I speak in all things, at all times, for all times.
