untold time

In light of the birth of my second niece and reflecting on how a sense of time will be passed onto her, I write this poem.



history is a crumble away

from making her debut

its time

to let ideas flow like vines

and solve social problems

like crimes

the way they do on tv

or don't in real life

its time

to open a slammed door

and wear a brandless tee

like mines

time

to let your locks do what they do

the way they would

if you just let them pour

free and wild

natural and pure

like the world depicted through

the eyes of a child

it's time for history to reveal itself

i'm not what you thought

i am what i was

untold yet sought
