Love Is Blind

A black man passing by smiled at a white girl. The white girl ignored him and stuck her nose in the air. A white girl smiled at a black man as she was passing by He did not smile back he did not dare A black man and a white woman passed by looking At each other with eyes full of love without a care. So there! 21 November 2020
