Dropping Smiles

I walked in dropping smiles
She picked up one
A diamond ring
in a room of rubber gaskets
wanting to be cock rings

Teeth tough
Eyes staccato
Movement made easy
More material on
and less material

A blood knot line
better than
can I  buy
Reeled in near rocks
not kind to hope.

Jimi Was Right

I’m not drinking the Kool Aid anymore.

I’m making lemonade from my own lemons.

I’m the one who’s got to die
when it comes time for me to die.

Jimi was right!

Are You With Me

“In the end we will not remember the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.”

Martin Luther King, Jr.
National Association of Colored Women 1946

Murder is murder whether it’s a lynching in Georgia or a choke hold in Minnesota or New York City. At the end of the day, it’s not what side you stand on or the color of your skin but what you said and did. CZV
