Small Town Profiling

Small Town Profiling friends and me tonight, stopped for walking with dark skin, they know what's coming; tell me not to show outrage, eclipse of the sun will pass. 07/13/10 9:23pm

That last line seals it up tight and makes the point with subtle power. It will be interesting to see how the law finally does go down, with all the hoopla. Nice piece. Thank you for your kind remarks, Gerard

I really don't quite understand this Tanka, Jim. If it's about race relations, I fully agree with any outrage you might show. At any rate, this is a very thought provoking write. Love, Dave
