The speaker of that poem, a victim of police violence, reflects on what it is like to have a second chance in a place without violence or fear, while also holding conversations from afar with the people he has left behind: his mother, his friend, his lover, and the police officer who killed him.

The following version of this book was used to create this study guide: Smith, Danez.
