a black boy then will kill a cop everytime they kill a black man then we kill a cop you think the accident rate would lower subsequently june jordan poem about police violence what if every time was the last what if every time we killed the part of us that did this what if every time the dead returned to reckon with us what if every time we outsmarted our fear what if every time every one else had to hold and feel the pain of the mother for one day what if every time we were believed what if every time whiteness choked on its own violence what if every time the sun went out what if every time the water turned to blood and we couldn t drink one drop without tasting it what if every time all of the tears shed were collected in a vessel and transformed into the power to dismantle institutions what if everytime had already happened and this was a question for historians what if every time we rush the road with 10 000 beating hearts running perpendicular to the mississippi what if every time videos of black bodies being murdered were not played on a loop what if every time the truth was broadcast far and wide and false media messages were laughed at and discarded what if every time we dislodged the cold stone in our throat so we could speak what if every time we loved each other more what if every time we admitted how hopeless we actually are what if every time we chose to continue to have hope in spaces of collectivity what if every time we knew there would be justice what if every time we were allowed to grieve without any shame what if every time i asked for one day when i do not have to think about being black but just being human i got a day what if every time we had a national day of mourning what if everytime police sacrificed black life white people just went out and sat all over every police car in the whole country so they couldn t drive out get out of the car for a day a week what if every time the good police officers stood up en masse denouncing their colleagues what if every time the police murder someone a week s pay of every police employee is withheld what if every time a politician chosen at random lost their position what if every time a black body is shattered a thousand more were loved into existence bathed in joy shown the power of our own wings what if every time we were allowed to feel black joy what if every time we could feel free to stop proving our right to exist and get to the business of feeling the joy our existence what if every time we intentionally breathed into our bellies what if every time we were afraid we danced what if every time we allowed ourselves the space to cry outside what if everytime we put a bowl of water under the bed and ask our ancestors to dream us a way what if every time we were raptured away to a new dimension to start again what if every time no one had electricity and our news was our talk between stoops what if every time we read all day aloud while standing on corners what if every time we lost the language and had to make a new one from scratch what if every time we would communicate without words but make sounds from deep down what if every time they kill black folk everyone lays down in a grave everyone and rises up with dirt to do what if every time we planted a garden what if every time we must create hashtags we open the borders for ten days and allow 1000 refugees places to stay what if every time we gave a scholarship to a student of color what if every time we put a love poem into the pocket of every black child we know what if every time we made space to be gentle to each other what if every time we stole our days back what if every time we took a broomstick to the stained glass what if every time we centered in our dignity what if every time we allowed ourselves to be what if every time we remember how resilient we are what if every time we dreamed we created new worlds with new possibilities what if every time we hurt we gain direct access to healing ancestors with remedies to soothe our pain what if this time police were disarmed and trained as midwives and doulas and the midwives and doulas became the keepers of safety
