Poem
“Jealousy” Jimmy had odds to beat, one he was a black teen and the temptations of big city’s Streets. But a single black mother’s determination held his attention sternly, So he had only Minimal interaction with streets. He had rickets but Jimmy could catch any ball. He ran with a gang that like to brawl, Then he entered a Youth Center where a Mentor introduced him to football. Pop Warner he’s leader of the team, Onto High School Football team as runner for TD’s. Scouts without doubts offered degrees. Mother’s pleased when he goes to USC, to be toast of the university. Jimmy rode football like a Hell’s Angel rides his hog. He played halfback, fullback carrying the ball. Top backers called, packs of women clawed, Because for a rental car he ran through a mall. Sydney was a naive Germany beauty queen, Blond haired eyes emerald green. Done nothing much since she jumped with the school cheer team. But she had dreams, being famous on T.V., a celebrity. But she’s stalled in the Pokipsy Mall, Serving chili, hamburgers and hotdogs. When in comes Jimmy, walking tall, followed by his enthralled. Each sees the other and head over heels each falls. Their love, sweet, she felt entitled to be, With the famous Jimmy. After their affair they married, two heirs, beach house on Bundy Street, Her face on T.V. with Jimmy, her dream is complete. But Jimmy believes in slavery, Believes possessions are bounty one forever keeps, And Sydney is his property. But black eye secrets don’t keep, So she and her parents agree, divorce Jimmy immediately. Jimmy falls, fell by divorce when the gavel falls. But most of all, He felt affronted by the German goofball in front of media tell-all, So he watches her like a hawk, to see with whom she walks. She saw a new fella who won her heart and Sydney falls. He wines and dines her many times and shows respect to all. So Jimmy waits, pissed off jealousy he has no date, until one night on her Ronald calls. Greens seethe engulfs Jimmy from head to feet, it shuts off reasoning. Disrespect for “The Great ME” is all he sees in this rivalry for his property. He sees she succeeds with this non-minority. To the door during their adoring greeting Jealousy creeps, Like Flash he slash the throat of the one he knows, Then at speed stabs repeatedly the one she greets, As he tries to flee from Jealousy.
