Did you ever see Amal get angry?
the prosecutor asked Ms. Rinaldi
It’s the most important question in my trial
Am I angryAm I violentAm I—
Objection, Clyde said
Sustained, the judge said
Did Amal ever display emotions that were—
Yes, Ms. Rinaldi said
That’s why I work so hard with Amal
To channel his anger into his art
And I know, I know
that right then and there
she didn’t even have to look my way
because she won’t see me
She’s never seen me
She only sees my paintings and drawings
as if me and what I create
are two different worlds
There’s a stone in my throat
and a brick on my chest
