I Wanted To Post This Yesterday But ...

________________________________________________________________________________________________


Yesterday,
I wanted to celebrate
the 123rd birthday of 
and honor 
the Black Poet
on the first day
 of Black History Month
 
 I have known 
and loved this poem
for fifty-two years
 
However,
three black people
in a supermarket
—in rapid succession—
behaved so flagrantly contrary
to the spirit of this poem
by threatening employees
and me
---
I considered
abandoning reference to
the celebration of this month
which I have honored
every year of Blog-o-overio 

This morning,
I will abandon
that abandonment 
and here is...



Motto

I play it cool
And dig all jive
That’s the reason
I stay alive.
 
My motto,
As I live and learn is:
Dig And Be Dug
In Return.
