AGAINST THE POLICE by Miguel James

My entire Oeuvre is against the police

If I write a Love poem it’s against the police

And if I sing the nakedness of bodies I sing against the police

And if I make this Earth a metaphor I make a metaphor against the police

If I speak wildly in my poems I speak against the police

And if I manage to create a poem it’s against the police

I haven’t written a single word, a verse, a stanza that isn’t against the police

All my prose is against the police

My entire Oeuvre

Including this poem

My whole Oeuvre

Is against the police.
