after the protest

the crowd was gone.   the chants had faded.   but the sign was still in my hands.

i sat down for a moment   while i waited for the métro.

travailleur de la santé contre le racisme systémique not a slogan. just a fact i live with and sometimes fight through.

justice pour joyce   because grief doesn't end   when the protest does.
