Lloyd J Bonds Poet Free verse

There's a Defining Source

there's a defining source
in the small of my back
telling me to turn to new black --
the new black of knowing
and scare tactics of frowning
down on brown boys
bowling for white pins with black balls
-- big, heavy, black balls --
to the aristocrats and cats
languishing and lounging 
by pools with ice liquor
and can cold American
dos piss hors d'oeuvres
