I wish I'd gone back to Times Square last night--nevermind that it was late and I'd have gone alone, nevermind I'd already showered and put on my pajamas, nevermind that there will be more rallies and vigils, nevermind that I had to work an early shift today; nevermind that I was tired; nevermind. If for no other reason than to let my presence serve as a witness to the sorrow of a world rent by killing and racism and pain, I wish I'd gone back. I watched the news instead, and wore black in mourning (for the death! for the protests! for the doggedness of racism! for the creation that groans!) today. But I wish I'd gone back.
