Tuesday

Poetry Interrupted


Born ‘round The Lost Angels Riots
Slave descendant black to paradigm setting white
Shock perfectly balanced with the dumb
In utero all apologies to servants unserved

This is what America is
This is what America was
This is what America is ever going to be

All the protests and all the protestations
The divine heart of our foolhardy nation
What is culture and what is life
Intentionality intentionally rife
