What do you do
when you’re a black cop
at a Back The Blue protest
with a Black Lives Matter
counter-protest
in front of you,
to left and right,
and possibly pursuing your rear
and career?

Which direction
does your identity choose,
if not to feel troubled
by a false choice
either way?

Is there some platform,
strange principle,
peculiar position
among Mattering Political Black Lives
that you cannot have
a healthy vocation
while carrying a ballistic weapon
and continue being a Black Life
in good and valued standing?

Or, to Back my Blue,
must I succumb
to StraightWhite caste privilege?

Are there any color boxes
still widely open
and religiously polycultural?

Can we all not aspire to become
a non-binary bound,
non-white,
ecofeminist for EarthPeace
health and safety
restoring green justice?

Recognizing
and appreciating
only organic Earth as sacred Master,
Mistress,
Goddess,
pantheistic Paradise.

Discarding old school memories
of enslaved custody of imprisoned eyes
and ears for preying,
suppressing custody of healthy taste
and fragrantly smelled beauty,
of pleasure’s touch
and compassionate Earthy feeling

Regarding green lives matter schools
and reschooled deep learning
balanced ego+eco logical ownership
of Black and Blue
and Green proud lives
for multicultural
polyamorous
mediation.
