the death of harvey milk

when i was 20 i only
worried about my next peanut butter
and jelly sandwich or
where i might sleep that
night while those seeking
freedom rioted in the streets.
my problems seem so small,
yet were so large that i did not
even know of the assassination
of harvey milk, and so i wonder
what small problems i face today
that cause me to be blind in
so many other ways.
