220.365 - promises

sometimes I am slower than tomorrow
the day that never gets here
as in tomorrow I will run
as in tomorrow I will exercise
as in tomorrow I will understand
what you just told me
what these murders portend
what injustice looks like
when you see it all around you
tomorrow
when the angels serve us
hot beef and chilled wine
tomorrow
when freedom comes
and equality rings from every bell
and justice
sweet justice
no longer means another black man dead
another white cop exonerated
tomorrow
when I run
and exercise
and understand
