God On Day Release

Thin black man Yiou touched my heart,delivering my parcels Thin black man from Trinidad Not smug and conceited in a grey suit Still polite because your ancestors were slaves Who could be kicked or even killed Yet in you it seems a virtue Creating space for grace Or for evil. I’d like to hold your arm and talk But you’re running off More deliveries Good you have a job Hope all goes well for you Smiling face like God on day release
