I am not
the newest Negro
in Long Beach
BUT
I have
hundreds of
brothers + sisters
of
all races
and creeds
who smoke
cigarettes
in public
–without shame–
If
that "cigaret"
gives off
marajuana vapors,
the smoker is
no friend of mine
+
I rattle off
a fistful of prayers
hoping
their next car accident
will not
prove fatal
