I’m writing a poem
about a boy (that I had/have[?] feelings for) that reminds me of R&B music. Yeah, an ambiguous topic, so the poem will be the process of me unpacking my visceral reaction, and of course as I dig through the idea in my head I’m realizing it’s going to be a poem about race identity. The concepts of stereotypical Blackness and traditional masculinity are all I seem to think about lately.
