I care about winning / I care about love / I care about fidelity to the cause / of causes / nothing is
sacred / meaning you can’t be fooled / consider this / faithful as the taxi cab / as a glimmer in the
window / or the teenyness of the world / God lives in the capital / slashes his name in skyscrapers
/ makes a home in a brown girls heart / such a thing is possible / when your name gives love a home
/ tonight, I see you / a tyrant, the body / the sister, the oddity / jaw meeting impossibly wet cement
/ spotting reliable spindles in your spine / tattered denim overflowing the garbage / this is /
something the wind cannot paint over / tell me / there hasn’t been a mistake / promise me / when
God lives in the capital / it means something / I dare you
