"have a name that brings the tongue to worship
names that feel like a ritual in the mouth
i don't want a name said without pause
muttered without intention
i am through with names that leave me unmoved
names that leave the speaker's mouth unscathed
i want a name like fire
like rebellion
like my hand grasping Massa's whip
i want a name from before the ships
a name that Donald Trump might choke on
i want a name that catches you in the throat if you say it wrong
and if you're afraid to say it wrong
then i guess you should be"
