This Might Be A Poem ... Consider Yourself Warned

This 

might be a poem

or 

it might not

 

It's all I got

(cold or hot)

 

Is that a crime?

When it's got rhyme

 

Nothing more

to write

 

Nothing more

to fudge

Hooda Helami's Tribute To ... ALBERT CAMUS

He 

gave us

The Stranger

+

The Myth of Sisyphus

+

something about

The Plague

 

BUT

—best of all—

he gave us

The Fall

 

He 

said some things

that were

not very kind

but

that happens 

when

you've got

a superior

mind

THANK YOU

for allowing

two

"complete strangers"

to 

swim in 

your 

South Hampton 

pool

many years ago 

 

We both swam naked

but it was cool:

 

The strangers

were

a 

trucker's assistant

[Bronx-born me]

and

Eddie "Bruiser" Robinson

from 

Bedford Stuyvesant

 

We delivered 

a 

heart-shaped 

king-sized bed

 

While 

the strangers

swam,

no one else

was in the pool

 

Everyone else

gawked at 

Eddie's

mega-ton penis

while I 

swam 

ten luxurious laps

invisibly

around 

your pool

The Problem I Have With These Flocking Authors

________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

 

This slightly titled

book cover

describes 

a 

brilliant novel

requiring

a review

superior

to anything

Oliverio

could write 

 

***

 

This is the third 

novel 

written by 

a black author

I didn't know existed

until

six weeks ago

 

S.A. Cosby 

 would never 

be mistaken

for

Chester Himes,

James Baldwin,

:::

:::

:::

or

my

life-long

GodFather, 

Langston Hughes

 

May your dreams

be deferred

but 

I am keeping

my 

hyperlinking

to a bare 

minimum 

 

BUT

the title above

refers to a

"Problem"

I have 

with authors 

such as 

Mr. Cosby:

 

If 

anyone 

of any relevance

to Oliverio 

is anywhere

on our

350+

Spectrum Cable

Package,

Mrs. CarPeo

will 

definitely

know

where to find

him/her

 

But she's found

zero appearances

of 

S.A. Cosby

 _________

_____

 

My paranoia

is wearing

high-heel

sneakers

when I think

the reason for this

might have to do

with 

the 

worldwide media

being fearful

that appearances

by someone else

named 

COSBY

 

might be

Huxtabled

back 

into our

collective

consciousness
