Self-portrait of David Wojnarowicz

History keeps me awake at night,
Was a commemorative they did,
Of David,
Who I had not heard of before tonight.

His self-portraits spoke of time,
That the world dealt with AIDS,
He dealt it in his own sweet way,
And by it in the end he passed away.

Protest is a form,
That is not easy to adopt.
But, in such times,
It is what makes us stand and stare.
