 Rest In Peace

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 trucker's assistant

w

 

as this 

Bronx-born

Italian

who helped

the Bedford Stuyvesant

Negro

truckdriver

deliver 

a 

heart-shaped 

king-sized bed

 

 

All of your friends

[and yourself]

fixated on

Eddie Robinson's

mega-ton penis

while I 

swam 

ten luxurious laps

ITALinvisibly

around 

your pool

You Never Forget How To Ride A Bicycle

You never

how to  

ride a bicycle

if you are

an artist

you never forget

how to create

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

One is not getting what you want.

The other is getting it.
