Poem

Bob Dylan, Woke

I can’t help but digress
When Bob Dylan expressed
(and consider gender sexist),
“How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man.”

They say he was the voice of a generation;
A poet deserving of privilege,
And a Nobel Prize in Literature.
Step back and contemplate his self-portrait,
The mask of Woke; pick, choose, and pass.
                         ***
