Poem

(For TW)

For three hours (too short for me)

I sat in your home and enjoyed

Your own special brand of Southern

Hospitality

And we talked

I had come to learn more about you

To hear a human voice without the Top Ten in the background

You offered me cheese and Horowitz and

It was relaxing

You gave me a small coke

And some large talk about being Black

And an individual

You had tried to fight the fight I’m fighting

And you understood my feelings while you

Picked my brains and kicked my soul

It was a pleasant evening

When He rises and Black is king

I won’t forget you
