Box Built For My Friends
A BOX BUILT FOR MY EVERY FRIEND
I've built you a box
As tall as a tree
Your personal disposal for
Black memories
A box that will hold every
Lover-flung hurt
A box that will hold
Stinky socks or old shirts.
I have blown a glass cup
That will hold every tear
You will dump every heart ache
Every shivering fear--
Certain inclusion of
Aspersions unfair--
Echoes that strangle
The person you are..............
You’ll perk savory fresh coffee
Breathe a world drama free--
Thump your butt on that box lid ---
And sip your new dreams.
With my apologies....Revised to be
w/o sexual discrimination
for my male friends June 17, 2013
