kitsch when “woke”

Janet Kuypers
10/30/21

In the past
people displayed miniature statues
of a black man holding up an ashtray, on display for all to enjoy

When we’re “woke”
boldly proclaiming we’re hating racism
we wake to see the exact same statues, with a monkey instead

really,
are we kitsch with our past mistakes
or does being “woke” make us push everyone away in the end
