“What I am saying is,
I am not interested in celebrating
A doctrine thrust at me
On the point of Constantine’s sword…

…I’m thinking now about how
Every time someone is baptized,
We inscribe them with doctrines
About what power is
What maleness is
What whiteness is
We re-inscribe a doctrine
Of white maleness as divinity
Every time we repeat that formula.”
